Analyzing Low-Level mtDNA Heteroplasmy—Pitfalls and Challenges from Bench to Benchmarking
Federica Fazzini,Liane Fendt,Sebastian Schönherr,Lukas Forer,Bernd Schöpf,Gertraud Streiter,Jamie Lee Losso,Anita Kloss-Brandstätter,Florian Kronenberg,Hansi Weissensteiner +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined potential pitfalls on the sequencing results based on two-person mtDNA mixtures and compared three DNA polymerases, six different variant callers in five mixtures between 50% and 0.5% variant allele frequencies generated with two different amplification protocols.

Immune response to 2-dose BNT162b2 vaccination and risk of SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infection: The Shieldvacc-2 study
Lisa Seekircher,Zoltán Bánki,Janine Kimpel,A. Roessler,Hubert Schaefer,Barbara Falkensammer,D. Bante,Lukas Forer,Scott J. Schoenherr,T. Harthaller,M. Sacher,Cornelia Ower,Lena Tschiderer,Herb Ulmer,Florian Krammer,Dorothee von Laer,Wegene Borena,Peter Willeit +17 more
TL;DR: Higher plasma levels of binding antibodies and antibodies in a surrogate neutralization assay were associated with reduced risk of breakthrough infection and assessment of anti-spike IgG levels enhanced prediction of breakthrough infections and may be a suitable measurable correlate of protection in practice.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Family and a Genome-Wide Polygenic Risk Score Are Independently Associated With Stroke in a Population-Based Study
Michelle Hämmerle,Lukas Forer,Sebastian Schönherr,Annette Peters,Harald Grallert,Florian Kronenberg,Christian Gieger,Claudia Lamina +7 more
TL;DR: This study shows that a family risk score and PGS capture different information concerning individual stroke risk, as demonstrated in a population-based study.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Cloudflow - A framework for MapReduce pipeline development in Biomedical Research
Lukas Forer,Enis Afgan,Hansi Weissensteiner,Davor Davidović,Günther Specht,Florian Kronenberg,Sebastian Schönherr +6 more
TL;DR: Cloudflow is presented, a high-level framework to hide the implementation details of Hadoop and to provide a set of building blocks to create biomedical pipelines in a more intuitive way and it will be shown how the framework can be combined with theHadoop workflow system Cloudgene and the cloud orchestration platform CloudMan to provide Hadoops pipelines as a service to everyone.

TL;DR: In this article, up to 70% of the LPA concentrations are a major independent risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD) and are mainly determined by variation in LPA.
