A novel framework to build saliva‐based DNA methylation biomarkers: Quantifying systemic chronic inflammation as a case study

open access: yesAging Cell, EarlyView.
In this study, we describe a novel multi‐omics framework to train saliva‐based DNA methylation (DNAm) biomarkers that are reproducible and biologically interpretable. By leveraging a reliability dataset with replicates across tissues, we demonstrate knowledge transfer from blood DNAm to saliva DNAm data using DNAm proxies of blood proteins (EpiScores).

Acute triangulations of polyhedra and R^n [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2009
We study the problem of acute triangulations of convex polyhedra and the space R^n. Here an acute triangulation is a triangulation into simplices whose dihedral angles are acute. We prove that acute triangulations of the n-cube do not exist for n>=4. Further, we prove that acute triangulations of the space R^n do not exist for n>= 5.
