DNA methylation–based age prediction and sex-specific epigenetic aging in a lizard with female-biased longevity
31 Jan 2025
Profiling of DNA methylomes in a small lizard sheds light on differences in life span observed between males and females.
Abstract
Sex differences in life span are widespread across animal taxa, but their causes remain unresolved. Alterations to the epigenome are hypothesized to contribute to vertebrate aging, and DNA methylation–based aging clocks allow for quantitative estimation ...
