Our paper on longitudinal multi-omics in an ageing population is out at @science.org Led by @juliaelsayed.bsky.social, we profiled gene expression and metabolomics at 3 timepoints in 335 individuals over 6-8 years to investigate molecular ageing trajectories www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Longitudinal dynamics of gene expression and metabolomics in an aging population cohort
Multiomic profiling provides a comprehensive physiological overview at the molecular level, but understanding of its spatiotemporal dynamics remains limited in human populations. We profiled longitudi...

Higher eQTL power reveals signals that boost GWAS colocalization
Rosen et al. quantify how eQTL study sample size influences signal discovery and GWAS colocalization. Integrating evidence from recent eQTL studies, they show that limited statistical power influences...

Our latest work is out in Nature today. In this paper, we introduce an improved version of NanoSeq, a duplex sequencing protocol with <5 errors per billion bp in single DNA molecules, and use it to study the somatic mutation landscape of oral epithelium in >1000 people www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Somatic mutation and selection at population scale - Nature
A new version of nanorate DNA&nbsp;sequencing, with an&nbsp;error rate&nbsp;lower than five errors&nbsp;per billion base pairs&nbsp;and compatible with whole-exome and targeted capture, enables epidemiological-scale studies of somatic mutation and selection&nbsp;and&nbsp;the generation of high-resolution&nbsp;selection&nbsp;maps across coding and non-coding sites for many genes.
