The molecular impact of cigarette smoking resembles aging across tissues - Genome Medicine
Background Tobacco smoke is the main cause of preventable mortality worldwide. Smoking increases the risk of developing many diseases and has been proposed as an aging accelerator. Yet, the molecular ...

🔴Nuevo estudio del BSC y @Universidade do Porto revela que fumar 🚬 imita y acelera el envejecimiento en muchos tejidos del cuerpo humano

⭕Se trata del 1r análisis exhaustivo y multitejido que demuestra que el tabaquismo no sólo perjudica a órganos específicos

Just got back from Milan after attending #ESHG2025. I had a great time presenting our poster and seeing so much interest in our preprint on calling rDNA variants: shorturl.at/p1D0C. Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by, asked questions, and shared insights. Let’s keep the conversation going! 🧬

Check this new preprint on inter-individual DNA methylation variation, lead by the incredibly talented @oliveroswinona.bsky.social!!
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...

It's a beautiful spring day in Barcelona. Sunshine welcoming all our guests for the first day of the CRG's annual symposium! This year's theme is all about the mechanisms of gene expression.

Congratulations @oliveroswinona.bsky.social!!! A humongous amount of great work!! So proud and happy for you, even though you set the bar very high for the rest of us in the @melelab.bsky.social
Yesterday I defended my PhD thesis at the UB after nearly 5 years of work at the BSC @melelab.bsky.social. I couldn’t be happier! This wouldn’t have been possible without my amazing friends and fellow PhD students. 💘🎉

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!

🚨New review paper alert!🚨
At the @rakyanlab.bsky.social, we have summarised what is currently known about genetic variation within the human ribosomal DNA and its potential consequences. Check it out if you are curious!!! Plenty of intriguing possibilities 😊

Assessing Human Ribosomal DNA Variation and Its Association With Phenotypic Outcomes
Genetic variation within the multi-copy, multi-locus ribosomal DNA (rDNA) can contribute to human complex trait variability. This variation takes the form of copy number, structural arrangement, and ....
