We made it!!!! València-London by train. London-Norwich by bike!!!

First journey done! 🌟 Our amazing cyclists arrived safely in Cambridge — still smiling! 😄🚴‍♀️ More than the ride: sustainability, team spirit & pushing limits. They’re recharging now… and ready for the next leg! #LongCyclingForScience #TeamSpirit
@anaconesa.bsky.social #LeadingByExample

Not everyone can or wants to cycle for 2–3 days, but we can all take a moment to ask ourselves:

💡 “How much am I impacting the planet with this trip?”
💡 “What can I do to reduce that impact?”

Studying relative RNA localization from nucleus to the cytosol Abstract. The precise coordination of important biological processes, such as differentiation and development, relies heavily on the regulation of gene exp

📊 RNA localization matters for gene regulation. We present a method to estimate transcript distributions between nucleus & cytosol using nuclear, cytosolic and whole-cell RNAseq.

I am so happy to learn that I won the Early Career Award for an outstanding presentation at the ESHG!!
Thanks to @melelab.bsky.social, @guigolab.bsky.social and to my awesome colleagues that also attended the conference for their support @rubenchazarra.bsky.social @ramirezjmiguel.bsky.social

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:

Exciting day in the lab, congratulations to Dr. Ntasis on successfully defending! 🎓🥳

Had a great time at the Computational Symposium- such a valuable opportunity to connect with colleagues, hear about exciting projects, and share progress on my master’s research! Presenting my work on the Pyrenean Lake microbiome has been invaluable for gathering feedback and ideas for my analysis 🙂

This week, we had a great time attending the 19th Computational Genomics Symposium at @prbb.org, a very nice opportunity to catch up with colleagues 💻🧬☀️

This has been a fantastic collaboration with @guigolab.bsky.social and led by @pclavell.bsky.social & @fairlie.bsky.social where we show something we suspected for some time: human gene annotations are European-biased, read this thread to know more about this work @bsc-cns.bsky.social @crg.eu

I never thought that I would wear again the lab coat 🥼 but I did it to sequence RNA with @nanoporetech.com at @guigolab.bsky.social . Thanks to @scarbonells.bsky.social , Carme and Zighi for their great teachings and patience in the wetlab. They definitely have solutions for everything!

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...

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!

I am SO EXCITED about this! An incredible amount of work from two brilliant people. I believe a bluetorial is on the way, stay tuned! 💜 @fairlie.bsky.social @pclavell.bsky.social @melelab.bsky.social @guigolab.bsky.social

Hi Bluesky! Excited to be here! Last week we had our yearly retreat in the mountains, enjoying nature, games, and discussions 🏔️🧬😊
