Data Release 25.7 | July 2025

The 25.7 Data Release includes data from the following studies: Human data Human Serum Determinants of Aging This study features an investigation of human longevity using metabolomics and proteomics, data collected through a case-cohort design. Longevity cases were defined as individuals who lived longer than 98% of their peers, based on U.S. life expectancy data. Data Release 25.7 | July 2025

Data Release 25.6 | June 2025

The 25.6 Data Release includes data from the following studies: Human data Shotgun Metagenomics Analysis of the Gut Microbiome in ILO (ILOMGS) The study provides data from 220 samples including 78 centenarian samples (over 100 years of age) and 148 younger samples (50-99). The samples were collected as part of the Integrative longevity Omics (ILO) Data Release 25.6 | June 2025

Data Release 25.4 | April 2025

The 25.4 Data Release includes data from the following studies: Human data A Simulated Data Set of Extreme Longevity This study features a synthetic dataset of 19,859 participants, generated by Syntegra Inc. in 2022 using a transformer-based language model. The simulation was based on a real dataset of 4,203 individuals from the New England Centenarian Data Release 25.4 | April 2025

Analysis of Pedigree OMIC Data Webinar

Presented on May 16, 2025 by Dr. Michael Province, PhD Description: Pedigree OMIC data, such as from the Long Life Family Study (LLFS) are powerful for detecting genomic signals for aging traits, diseases and longevity. But unlike population data of unrelated individuals, pedigree data violate the basic statistical assumptions of almost all hypothesis tests and Analysis of Pedigree OMIC Data Webinar
