Nightingale biomarker information

Description

Contains details on the Nightingale biomarkers available in UK Biobank and computed by this package.

If you use the estimated fatty acids in lipoprotein measurements please cite: Belkadi A. et al. Size-resolved lipoprotein fatty acid content as a novel nuclear magnetic resonance-derived trait specifically associates with genetic variants that control fatty acid metabolism. J. Proteome Res.
