I'm quite happy to announce our just published software article in BMC Bioinformatics: PhyteByte: identification of foods containing compounds with specific pharmacological properties. Collaboration w @kewesterman @seanharr11 @jordovas56 @JMHNRCA bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

We did a thing: CC Genotype at TCF7L2 Diabetes Risk Locus rs7903146 Directs a Coordinated Fatty Acid Response to a Mediterranean Diet Intervention (and not low-fat), karger.com/lfg/article/18…

Our newest paper: CC genotype at TCF7L2 diabetes risk locus rs7903146 directs a coordinated fatty acid response to a Mediterranean diet intervention karger.com/lfg/article/do…

@compoundchem Cool! But of course I'd say that. If an updated graphic is in order, consider our watermelon paper: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

And, not to overlook another important aspect of this project: Two students made significant contributions to the research and hence are co-authors

Since starting our work on rate-limited enzymes in cardiometabolic health, I've seen significant numbers of RLEs throughout our other projects on genomics, nutrition and health karger.com/lfg/article/do…

Our latest publication: Rate-limiting enzymes in cardiometabolic health and aging in humans. We bring some basic biochemistry into the conversation doi.org/10.1159/000531…

@lundpa Consider the USDA ARS Culture Collection, one of the largest public collections of microorganisms in the world nrrl.ncaur.usda.gov

Several freezers full of thousands of reasonably well documented bacterial strains and plasmids, accumulated over a research career - all heading for the autoclave on my retirement. I feel bad about this but what to do?

USDA/1890 National Scholar Clarise Preston received her BS in Agricultural Sciences from @SouthernU_BR this spring. Through the program, she has been exposed to lots of opportunities. Learn more about the program: usda.gov/partnerships/1…

Our lab is actively looking to recruit a postdoctoral candidate. If you are interested in Aging, Metabolism and, Host-microbiome interactions apply for the job opening in the interfolio link below, and we are happy to chat! Please retweet. apply.interfolio.com/128916

@larsjuhljensen Thank you - helpful to see what you observed as highlights

Day 2 recap from #ISMBECCB2023: Single-cell analysis and network biology. Papers/preprints for highlights are in the description. youtube.com/shorts/oWULSnp…

So proud of our @UMLResearch @UML_ZCHS students at #Nutrition2023 !!

@moorejh I believe that Al Hershey did (known for embryo.asu.edu/pages/hershey-…). I saw the "portable" computer he used late in his career @CSHL

Who had a computer in their lab in 1980? #retrocomputing #TBT

Congrats to Kui Deng @dengkui_stats (postdoc from my group) for this excellent work @NatureComms . Our work show complex nature of using either fecal or blood metabolome to associate gut microbiome and cardiometabolic diseases nature.com/articles/s4146…

While I'm intrigued by potential contributions to #dementia from genes implicated in dementia but expressed to high levels in muscle, gut, liver, thyroid, etc, I'm most proud that our work is the 1st publication for 2 co-authors

We investigated metabolic enzymes involved in #dementia whose genes have high expression in metabolically active non-brain tissues. We also found some interesting relationships btwn gene expression and #diet. Published @Nutrients_MDPI mdpi.com/2072-6643/15/3…

Job: Supervisory Ecologist/Soil Scientist/Microbiologist (Research Leader) of the Agroecosystems Management Research Unit of the USDA, Agricultural Research Service, @ the Nat'l Lab for Agriculture and the Environment, Ames, Iowa usajobs.gov/job/686425000

A statistical interaction between marijuana-yrs & alcohol consumption on GrimAge acceleration was observed, with nondrinkers showing higher GAA (β = 0.21, P = 0.008) compared to heavy drinkers (β = 0.05, P = 0.500) per each additional marijuana-year

In whole blood @ exam yrs 15 & 20 epigenomic profiling for GrimAge acceleration for ever use of marijuana & each add'l marijuana-yr were associated with a 6-month (P < 0.001) and a 2.5-month (P < 0.001) higher average in GrimAge acceleration, respectively …lepigeneticsjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Great chatting with the @SportTechie team about the last 4 years of work, and where we're headed next. Job openings are down 1M...the good news is, we're hiring : )

An important new review on gene-diet interactions, Appraisal of Gene-Environment Interactions in GWAS for Evidence-Based Precision Nutrition Implementation, link.springer.com/article/10.100…, updates our work from 2014 biodatamining.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
