The CALERIE Genomic Data Resource.

ABSTRACT: Caloric restriction (CR) slows biological aging and prolongs healthy lifespan in model organisms. Findings from the CALERIE randomized, controlled trial of long-term CR in healthy, nonobese humans broadly supports a similar pattern of effects in humans. To expand our understanding of the molecular pathways and biological processes underpinning CR effects in humans, we generated a series of genomic datasets from stored biospecimens collected from n = 218 participants during the trial. These data constitute a genomic data resource for a randomized controlled trial of an intervention targeting the biology of aging. Datasets include whole-genome single-nucleotide polymorphism genotypes, and three-timepoint-longitudinal DNA methylation, mRNA and small RNA datasets generated from blood, skeletal
