📢Menopause affects half the population — yet it's been one of the most overlooked areas in aging research.
We found that aging in the female reproductive system unfolds in unexpected, organ-specific ways. 🔗 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Our lab had dual presence at #BoG25 @cshlmeetings.bsky.social!
🧬 Silvia González-López spoke on chromatin dynamics & transcriptional regulation.
🌍 @fairlie.bsky.social presented ancestry-aware gene annotations — a @guigolab.bsky.social × @melelab.bsky.social collab:

Excited to share our new preprint: The impact of sex, age, and genetic ancestry on DNA methylation across tissues. Briefly, we explored how sex, age, and genetic ancestry shape DNA methylation across tissues and individuals. Want to know a bit more? Follow this “bluetorial”!

The impact of sex, age, and genetic ancestry on DNA methylation across tissues
Background: Understanding the consequences of individual DNA methylation variation is crucial for the study of human biology and disease. However, the collective impact of demographic traits on DNA me...

Do you work in 💫human genetics💫?
Have you ever worried about what’s inside your gene annotation GTF⁉️
WELL, YOU SHOULD! 😱
Especially when studying a genetically diverse 🌍 cohort!
🔴We discover that gene annotations are European-biased 👉 impacting downstream analyses!

Long-read transcriptomics of a diverse human cohort reveals widespread ancestry bias in gene annotation
Accurate gene annotations are fundamental for interpreting genetic variation, cellular function, and disease mechanisms. However, current human gene annotations are largely derived from transcriptomic...

Really interesting talk by our talented PhD student @mariasopenarios.bsky.social at #WomensHealth2025 conference!
Last week, I presented my work on sex differences in immune aging at the Women's Health conference, @eventswcs.bsky.social. Great discussions and inspiring science highlighting the need for more research with a gender and sex perspective! #WomensHealth2025

AMAZING JOB by our postdoc Oleksandra presenting her results at #WomensHealth2025
Honoured to have presented our work on menopause at the first conference on Women’s Health at @eventswcs.bsky.social ! Grateful for the insightful discussions and the chance to highlight how aging differentially affects female tissues. Excited to keep the conversation going! #womenshealth2025
