# 🧬 Smulders Longevity Extracted Dataset
This dataset was extracted from the publication:
> **Genetics of human longevity: From variants to genes to pathways**
> *Journal of Internal Medicine, 2023 β€” Smulders et al.*
> DOI: [10.1111/joim.13690](https://doi.org/10.1111/joim.13690)
It contains structured gene names and SNP identifiers mentioned throughout the paper.

## πŸ“„ Dataset Description
| Column | Description |
|--------|------------------------------|
| type | Entry type: `Gene` or `SNP` |
| id | The gene name or SNP ID |
The gene names are uppercase identifiers, and SNPs follow the common `rs` format (e.g., rs429358).

## πŸ”§ Usage Instructions
### Load in Python
```python
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_parquet("smulders_longevity_extracted.parquet")
print(df.head())
```
---
## πŸš€ Use Cases
- Gene prioritization for longevity research
- Mapping SNPs from literature to existing aging gene databases
- Input for polygenic risk score (PRS) modeling
- Enhancing datasets like LongevityMap with literature-derived signals
