The Multiomics Blueprint of the Individual with the Most Extreme Lifespan

Although centenarians are becoming more common in the demography of human populations, the so-called supercentenarians (over 110 years old) are still a rarity. In Catalonia, the historic nation where the subject lived, the life-expectancy for women is 86 years old, so she exceeded more than 30 years the mean statistical value. In a similar manner that premature aging syndromes, such as Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria and Werner syndrome, can provide relevant clues about the mechanisms of aging; the study of supercentenarians might also shed light in the pathways involved in lifespan. To unfold the biological properties that exhibited such a remarkable human being, we developed a comprehensive multiomics analysis in different tissues of her genomic, transcriptomic, metabolomic, epigenomic and microbiomic landscapes , comparing the results with those observed in non-supercentenarian populations.

Dataset ID	Description	Technology	Samples
EGAD50000001285	DNA fragmentation from M116 blood sample (350 bp), library preparation, bisulfite conversion, and paired-end-150 whole genome bisulfite sequencing was conducted by Novogene®. Sequencing was carried out with a 10X coverage (approximately 60 Gb and 200 million reads per sample) using the NovaSeq X Plus platform (Illumina). Files types included in this dataset are raw Fastq files.	Illumina NovaSeq X	1
EGAD50000001286	Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) was performed using DNA extracted from M116’s blood, saliva, and urine samples. DNA was fragmented to 350 bp, followed by library preparation, paired-end 150 bp WGS, and variant calling, all conducted by Novogene®. Sequencing was carried out with a 10X coverage (approximately 60 Gb and 200 million reads per sample) using the NovaSeq X Plus platform (Illumina). Files types included in this dataset are raw Fastq files.	Illumina NovaSeq X	4
EGAD50000001287	Genomic DNA was obtained from M116 peripheral blood sample and was used for targeted deep sequencing (TDS) studies. Barcoded libraries were prepared according to the manufacturer’s instructions, using a probe-based panel (KAPA HyperCap, Roche®) targeting frequently mutated regions of 50 myeloid-related genes. Samples were run on a MiSeq (Illumina®) sequencer for paired-end 2x75 bp reads with a mean coverage of 1000X.	Illumina MiSeq	1
EGAD50000001288	M116 stool was collected from 3 different days (3 biological replicates) and kept at -20ºC until DNA extraction (Biobanc IDIBGI and Goodgut®). Total genomic DNA was extracted from 150–200 mg of each stool sample after homogenisation using the DNeasy Powersoil Pro kit (Qiagen®) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Quality and quantity of DNA were evaluated using Qubit® BR kit on a Qubit®2.0 fluorimeter (ThermoFisher Scientific®) and on a Nanodrop ND-2000 UV-Vis spectrophotometer (ThermoFisher Scientific®). The v3-v4 region of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene was amplified and sequenced (paired-end 250-bp) following standard practices at external facilities (Novogene®) using previously described primers 515F. Files types included in this dataset are raw Fastq files.	Illumina NovaSeq 6000	3
EGAD50000001289	scRNA-seq was performed using Chromium Next GEM Single Cell 3’ Kit v3.1 (10X Genomics) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, M116's PBMCs were thawed and quantified in order to calculate the number of cells to be loaded. Then, barcoded Single Cell 3ʹ Gel Beads, a master mix containing PBMCs, and Partitioning Oil were combined onto the Chromium Next GEM Chip G to generate Gel Beads-In-Emulsion (GEMs), where polyadenylated mRNAs were reverse transcribed. This way, all generated cDNAs from the same cell shared a common 10X Barcode. Following the reverse transcription, GEMs were broken and cDNAs were amplified and cleaned up with SPRIselect beads (Beckman Coulter®). Next, a portion of these cDNAs were enzymatically fragmented and subjected to adaptor ligation before using them as a PCR template for the incorporation of i5/i7 indexes. Finally, libraries were purified with SPRIselect beads, quantified and quality checked by using the 2200 TapeStation (Agilent®), and subjected to paired-end 150-bp sequencing (Novaseq systems, Illumina®) following standard practices at external facilities (Novogene®). Files types included in this dataset are raw Fastq files.	Illumina HiSeq X	1
EGAD50000001678	DNA samples were quantified with Qubit BR kit on a Qubit2.0 fluorimeter (ThermoFisher Scientific), and integrity was checked using agarose gel electrophoresis. DNA from samples passing the quality control was bisulfite-converted using the EZ DNA Methylation-Gold™ Kit (Zymo Research, Cat. D5005) following the manufacturer's instructions. Then, bisulfite-converted DNA was hybridized into the Methylation EPICv1.0 BeadChip (Illumina) array interrogating > 850,000 CpG sites according to manufacturer's instructions	unspecified	3
EGAD50000001679	For extracellular vesicles (ECV) extraction from plasma, 1M ammonium acetate was added to precipitate ECVs on ice for 45 min. Then, 100 mM ammonium acetate was added to the mixture, and ECVs were precipitated by centrifugation at 20,000g for 30 min. ECVs were washed with 50 mM ammonium bicarbonate (Sigma-Aldrich, Cat. 1066-33-7). Then, 600 µl of 1% ammonium deoxycholate (Sigma Aldrich, Cat. K2755-1MG) were added. The concentration of protein in each sample was measured using a bicinchoninic acid assay (BCA assay). Ammonium bicarbonate was used to dilute 500 µg of protein into a final volume of 500 µl. Next, dithiothreitol (Sigma-Aldrich, Cat. D9779) was added to obtain a final concentration of 20 mM, followed by iodoacetamide (Sigma-Aldrich, Cat. I6125) to a final concentration of 40 mM. Next, trypsin (Roche, Cat. RTRYP-RO) was added to the sample in a 1:25 protein ratio and incubated at 37°C overnight. Next day, formic acid (ThermoFisher Scientific, Cat. 28905) in a final concentration of 0.1% was added and extraction of proteins was done using Empore™ Solid Phase Extraction Cartridges (3M), following manufacturer’s instructions. The eluted samples were then centrifuged for 90 min. using a speed vacuum centrifuge (Thermo, RC1010), followed by snap freezing in liquid nitrogen. Then, the samples were kept in a freeze dryer (LyoDry Compact Benchtop, MechaTech) overnight. Next, the samples were reconstituted in 30 µl of 0.1% formic acid (FA) and an o-Phthaladehyde (Oparil) assay was performed to determine the concentration of each sample. After that, the sample was prepared in a concentration of 0.5 µg/µl using 0.1% FA and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). The samples were prepared in glass mass spectrometry vials for proteomic analysis using a Waters Synapt G2Si High-Definition Mass Spectrometry (Waters Corporation) operated by the MassLynx 4.1., 110 min. running time with 2 µl of an injection containing 1 µg of peptide. Quality controls were also run along with samples to guarantee consistency. Pooled quality controls were made from all samples, in which the samples were run at the beginning, middle and end of the mass spectrometry run. Samples were randomized before running the experiment. The proteomic data was then imported into Progenesis software 4.2 (Nonlinear Dynamic, UK) to identify and quantify peptides and proteins.	unspecified	1
