Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
About 40% of the cancer burden in high income countries can be explained by known risk factors, although international differences in incidence point to other unknown causes. Several established carcinogens leave specific mutation patterns in the cancer genome, ie mutational signatures. This suggests that sequencing large numbers of tumour samples from different populations may be a useful strategy to identify novel causes of cancer.
