Article Synopsis
  • Age-related changes in the immune system lead to a weaker response to new pathogens and vaccines, particularly impacting older individuals.
  • In a study comparing young adults (ages 19-26) to middle-aged adults (ages 45-58) who were vaccinated with the yellow fever vaccine, distinct differences in antibody responses were observed.
  • Younger individuals exhibited a more diverse and efficient antibody repertoire and somatic hypermutation process, indicating a stronger immune response to new pathogens compared to their older counterparts.

Unique molecular identifiers (UMIs) show outstanding performance in targeted high-throughput resequencing, being the most promising approach for the accurate identification of rare variants in complex DNA samples. This approach has application in multiple areas, including cancer diagnostics, thus demanding dedicated software and algorithms. Here we introduce MAGERI, a computational pipeline that efficiently handles all caveats of UMI-based analysis to obtain high-fidelity mutation profiles and call ultra-rare variants.
