Exciting morning - first day back after maternity leave, and my first ever first-author paper is now out! We found decelerated epigenetic aging and feminised methylation patterns in castrated male sheep @epi_otago @eLife

🚨 Breakthrough in Epigenetic Clocks.The "Androgen Clock" offers deep insights into how hormonal regulation shapes DNA methylation. This fully controllable clock only "ticks" when both androgen receptors and androgens are present.
• Powered by a single, highly predictive androgen-sensitive DNA site
• Accurately tracks long-term androgen exposure in sheep & mice
• Detects meat quality issues (e.g., "ram taint" in non-castrated rams)
• Clock stops with testes removal & activates in females via synthetic androgens

Delighted to share our 'Androgen clock' paper in #PNAS https://t.co/EcueBxPdX2 - the first way to predict long-term androgen exposure using DNA alone. We so much more than the sequence we are born with! Stellar work (and animation - SOUND ON) by @torisugrue

Brushtail possums are the native mammal most likely to be in human contact in Australia and Aotearoa/NZ - protected in native Oz, but a pest in NZ. We sequenced their genes and found many surprises - read https://t.co/WIHizsJ5Dn or watch https://t.co/OvYEfA22i3 for more.....
