Finally! Our study about nonlinear DNA methylation trajectories during aging is out at @NatureComms! We have discovered two sudden hypermethylation switches during early-to-midlife and mid-to-late-life stage. (1/4) rdcu.be/dEj0g

🎉 A huge thank you to the entire team, including @helenekretzmer , Mara Steiger, Franz-Josef Müller, Björn Brändl, Christian Rohrandt, and all our co-authors and collaborators! It was a great pleasure to be part of this team! ✨

This milestone was achieved through an incredible collaboration between Max-Planck-Institute for Molecular Genetics, Universitätsklinikum Schleswig-Holstein, Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, together with other collaboration partners and experts. 💪

🚀Real-Time Tumor Classification in the Operating Room!🧠🧬 I am super excited that our study was just published in @NatureMedicine!We developed MethyLYZR - a cutting-edge ML framework enabling live molecular classification of brain tumors within an hour. doi.org/10.1038/s41591…

🚨 Stop chasing the p-value! Increasing your sample size will always yield a significant result. Even for trivial differences. 🎮 I created a little interactive playground to illustrate this issue: react-graph-gallery.com/example/t-test… Always pair p-values with effect sizes!

A great work of my colleagues! I'm so glad to be part of this amazing team!

🧬CocoProms expand the cis-regulatory repertoire and raise intriguing evolutionary questions about how promoters originate and function in complex genomes.

- This discovery challenges traditional concepts of promoter architecture, showing that multiple promoters can be epigenetically linked and co-regulated - Our findings may redefine how we identify target genes of transcription factors and understand regulatory mechanisms

🔥🧬Finally out!🧬🔥 Check out our latest study in Nature Genetics uncovering a surprising phenomenon of convergent co-regulated promoters cocoProms doi.org/10.1038/s41588… 🧑‍🤝‍🧑I'm happy to be part of such an amazing team! 🧵

Big thank to my amazing PhD student Tushar Patel for his work and to Steve Hoffmann for his support and productive discussion! It was again a lot of fun to participate at the @DR_E_A_M challenge! Many thanks to the organisers! Stay tuned for the upcoming publication!

The Datasaurus Dozen is a collection of thirteen datasets that, despite having nearly identical summary statistics—such as mean, variance, and correlation—exhibit vastly different distributions when visualized. This underscores the critical importance of graphing data to uncover underlying patterns that summary statistics alone may obscure. #Statistics #DataScience #Research #Science

What a cool surprise on a Friday afternoon - our story on the cover of @NatureSMB. @bulutkarslioglu @MPI_MolGen

I am very pleased to see the 2nd survey report of Postdocs from @LeibnizWGL out. It's great that Working Group 1 of the @LeibnizPostDocs Network is continuing this work! Thank you so much @becker_regi and all other team members! leibniz-postdoc.de/report-of-the-…
