Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>For a long time, we assumed somatic cells only pass DNA vertically during division. Recent work by Ly et al. [1] and Wu et al. [2] showed this rule breaks under heavy genomic stress: cells physically send intact DNA fragments, extrachromosomal circular DNA (ecDNA) oncogenes, and nuclear pieces to neighboring cells through thin tunneling nanotubes. Standard single-cell bioinformatic tool...
