When Human Genome Project researchers announced that they had successfully completed sequencing the human genome, it was only about 92% complete. There were still hundreds of gaps or missing DNA sequences. Why was it so difficult to complete the sequence? Let’s break it down!

The first release of our sequencing of all 500k individuals of the UKB.
Below is a short run through of some of our main findings 1/12
Our pre-print describing the @uk_biobank Pharma Proteomics Project (UKB-PPP) is now online!

We identify 10k+ genetic associations w/ protein concentrations; 85% are new.
The data should help drive discovery of new biomarkers, diagnostics & medicines.
OK, so it turns out that biological age can be predicted and its genetic determinants are both the usual suspects (APOE, CHRNA7, GCKR) and also more novel biology.
But can Calico turns these into anti-aging therapies?

Q: How can I tell if my hearing has been damaged?
A: You could have hearing loss if you have:
-Persistent ringing in the ears
-Difficulty in hearing high-pitched sounds
-Difficulty understanding speech, especially over the phone
-Difficulty following conversations in noisy places
On an INDIVIDUAL basis, Omicron may be roughly as severe as influenza & much less for those up to date on vaccinations. But on a SOCIETAL basis because the number of infections is so high in such a short time, the risk of overwhelmed health care is much higher. Vax. Boost. Mask.
