This dataset contains structured tables extracted from two peer-reviewed publications focused on telomere sequencing, length measurement, and structure—key biomarkers in aging and age-related disease.
## Dataset Description
The dataset is compiled from:
1. `s41467-024-49007-4.pdf` (Nature Communications)
2. `eScholarship UC item 0t23r589.pdf`
Extracted tables cover:
- Telomere length metrics
- Nanopore sequencing measurements
- Biological age associations
- Sample-level telomere profiles
The final dataset is saved in the file: `telomere_datasets_combined.parquet`
## Usage Instructions
```python
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_parquet("telomere_datasets_combined.parquet")
print(df.head())
```
## Use Cases
- Train biological aging clocks using telomere length features
- Identify age-related trends in telomere attrition
- Benchmark telomere shortening in disease vs. healthy cohorts
- Integrate into multi-omics aging models
