Epimutations define a fast-ticking molecular clock in plants

N Yao, RJ Schmitz, F Johannes - Trends in Genetics, 2021 - cell.com
Stochastic gains and losses of DNA methylation at CG dinucleotides are a frequent
occurrence in plants. These spontaneous 'epimutations' occur at a rate that is 100 000 times …

Epigenetic predictors of species maximum life span and other life-history traits in mammals

DNA methylation entropy as a measure of stem cell replication and aging

H Vaidya, HS Jeong, K Keith, S Maegawa, G Calendo… - Genome biology, 2023 - Springer
Background Epigenetic marks are encoded by DNA methylation and accumulate errors as
organisms age. This drift correlates with lifespan, but the biology of how this occurs is still …
