We analyzed changes in physiology relative to menopause using two large scale studies that include millions of lab tests. Rather than align by age, we used statistical inference to align tests to final menstrual period. (1/2)

The Menopause Cliff: What a Million Women's Lab Tests Reveal
TLDR: A massive study of 300+ million lab tests from 1+ million women just proved what women have been saying for years: menopause isn't a gradual slope—it's a physiological cliff. Nearly e

Excited to share our new FinnGen single-nucleus multiome preprint! 🧬
We profiled ~10M PBMCs (snRNA-seq + snATAC-seq) from 1,108 Finnish donors to map how genetic variants drive complex disease through chromatin and gene regulation 🧵👇

There are still important details lacking. 1) How to address the substantial differences in prediction calibration and uncertainty across different environmental contexts (see: Hou et al. 2024 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38886587/), many of which are unknown for an embryo by definition?
