Several articles describe highly accurate age estimation methods based on human DNA-
methylation data. It is not yet known whether similar epigenetic aging clocks can be …

DNA methylation profiles have been used to develop biomarkers of aging known as
epigenetic clocks, which predict chronological age with remarkable accuracy and show …

Human DNA methylation profiles have been used successfully to develop highly accurate
biomarkers of aging (“epigenetic clocks”). Although these human epigenetic clocks are not …

Background Mammalian species exhibit a wide range of lifespans. To date, a robust and
dynamic molecular readout of these lifespan differences has not yet been identified. Recent …

Background DNA methylation changes at a discrete set of sites in the human genome are
predictive of chronological and biological age. However, it is not known whether these …

In wild animal conservation, knowing the age of an individual animal is extremely beneficial.
However, estimating the age is difficult for many species. Recently, epigenetics-based …

DNA methylation (DNAm) is a key mechanism for regulating gene expression in animals
and levels are known to change with age. Recent studies have used DNAm changes as a …

Age is an important ecological tool in wildlife conservation. However, it is difficult to estimate
in most animals, including felines—most of whom are endangered. Here, we developed the …

Age‐associated DNA‐methylation profiles have been used successfully to develop highly
accurate biomarkers of age (" epigenetic clocks") in humans, mice, dogs, and other species …

Age determination of wild animals, including pinnipeds, is critical for accurate population
assessment and management. For most pinnipeds, current age estimation methodologies …
