New in Nature: We mapped the genetics of aging across the entire lifespan of 6,438 mice. 59 loci, modulate the genetics of *when* you die, not just whether a gene associates with lifespan. #Longevity #Aging #Genetics #Healthspan www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Finally online 🥳, the largest #QTL study ever done in mice, we use an actuarial approach to map #genetic factors affecting #aging in mice (Vita) and discover that genetics modulates the effect of #bodyweight on #lifespan (Soma). www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Genetic Modulation of Lifespan: Dynamic Effects, Sex Differences, and Body Weight Trade-offs
The dynamics of lifespan are shaped by DNA variants that exert effects at different ages. We have mapped genetic loci that modulate age-specific mortality using a new actuarial method. We started with...

Hi all, I have a fully-funded, four-year PhD studentship opportunity in my group: www.findaphd.com/phds/project.... This is Synthetic Biology first and foremost, looking at replacing oil-derived diols, which are really important industrial monomers used in thousands of the objects we use every day.

Taught my BSc students how to make a population pyramid plot today using base R. It's more of a pyramid of death ☠️, since it shows the number of UM-HET3 mice dying within a 75 day window. #RStats #EduSky #AcademicSky #Aging #Research #Bioinformatics #DataViz
