DNA Methylation Ageing Atlas Across 17 Human Tissues Aging involves widespread epigenetic remodeling across tissues, yet the nature and consistency of these changes remain unclear. We conducted a meta-analysis of more than 15,000 human methylomes spanni...

Pre-print from our lab!

Led by Macsue Jacques who covered tissue-specific vs shared DNAm signatures across 17 human tissues and discovered new hubs of genes previously unexplored in the ageing field.

Very excited this is finally published in the ISMB proceedings. This was @noorpratap.bsky.social's last conference-related paper in my lab (but look out for a new Genome Research paper soon), & a monumental effort. It's already integrated into simpleaf. Noor will be presenting it at ISMB next week!

The view of the Adelaide Oval, site of the 2025 Australian Biology and Computational Biology Society (ABACBS) conference, from across the River Torrens. The conference will be held in Adelaide from 24 to 28 November and celebrates 10 years of ABACBS.

The 10th anniversary #ABACBS conference will be held in Adelaide from Nov 24-28. If you're thinking of coming, get in quick, as it's going to be a big week: A fantastic #bioinformatics conference with outstanding national and international speakers, and we're wrapping up the ABACBS week an AC/DC gig

New ENCODE4 long-read RNA-seq transcripts track for hg38 and mm10. Triplets (e.g. [1,1,3]) indicate start site, exon combination, and stop site for each transcript. Enrichment scores show how these change across tissue and cell line samples.

Disappointed to see that @natureportfolio.nature.com journals only extend OA fee waivers to authors in low income and lower-middle income countries, and leave out upper-middle income countries, where the max per-capita income is 14,005 USD as per the 2025 cut-offs.

Need to update your data? Follow these five tips Researchers engaged in long-term projects often need to update their data sets over time. Here’s how to do it while maintaining reproducibility.

I really appreciate being given the opportunity to contribute to this Nature article on best practices for versioning shared data! 🫱📂🫲

🧪🖥️🧬 It's here!! Our second MPRA, which is totally different from the first. For starters, there's no human sequences anywhere!

Instead there's marsupials, wolves, pandas and a lot of hard work from lab members past & present, chief amongst them @navya-shukla.bsky.social (looking for a postdoc btw)

The truly open solution is the technicallu better one here (SLOW5). Even if it was not, there would be strong reasons to prefer it. I hope the community rejects closed or strangely licensed basic tools, not just POD5, but also pseudo-open offerings like CellRanger. Good alternatives exist!

Role of TP53 mutations in the origin and evolution of therapy-related acute myeloid leukaemia - Nature Somatic TP53 mutations are highly prevalent in therapy-related acute myeloid leukaemia and myelodysplastic syndrome, which arise as complications of cytotoxic chemotherapy or radiotherapy; although it...

This was clear from the moment Terrence, Giri, and Andy’s paper was presented at ASH 2013 www.nature.com/articles/nat...

Chemotherapy is a profound stressor for HSCs selecting for TP53, RUNX1, and PPM1D mutant HSCs

The mutations seem to be incidental: the HSCs that can tolerate them survive
