Rebel Sounds: Musical Resistance in Barbados by DredieMann
And while I have to confess that from a very early age, I’ve been enamoured with the sweet strains of American soul/funk star Chaka Khan, for the most part my musical experience was shaped by something else, something very English – the Anglican Choral Tradition. I was built upon a diet of liquid Tudor motets and meaty Victorian anthems.
In our programme, we focus on three Brathwaites: my great, great, great, great grandfather and grandmother Addo and Margaret, who were enslaved, and Margaret’s father Miles, who was a white British plantation owner and enslaver. They lived in the Eastern Parish of St Philips. Lisa says: “The question of whether Margaret was the daughter of Miles Brathwaite’s is not one that can be found easily on paper. Her mother would have been a black slavewoman who is nameless, would not have had a marked grave, would not be in the St Philip’s Parish Churchyard.

Blocking Genomic Instability Prevents Acquired Resistance to MAPK Inhibitor Therapy in MelanomaAbstract. Blocking cancer genomic instability may prevent tumor diversification and escape from therapies. We show that, after MAPK inhibitor (MAPKi) therapy in patients and patient-derived xenografts (PDXs), acquired-resistant genomes of metastatic cutaneous melanoma specifically amplify resistance-driver, non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ), and homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes via complex genomic rearrangements (CGRs) and extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs). Almost all sensitive and acquired-resistant genomes harbor pervasive chromothriptic regions with disproportionately high mutational burdens and significant overlaps with ecDNA and CGR spans. Recurrently, somatic mutations within ecDNA- and CGR-amplicons enrich for HRR signatures, particularly within acquired-resistant tumors. Regardless of sensitivity or resistance, breakpoint-sequence analysis suggests NHEJ as critical to double-stranded DNA break repair underlying CGR and ecDNA formation. In human melanoma cell lines and PDXs, NHEJ-targeting by a DNA-PKCS inhibitor prevents/delays acquired MAPKi resistance by reducing the size of ecDNAs and CGRs early on combination treatment. Thus, targeting the cause(s) of genomic instability prevents acquired resistance.
