Abstract excerpt
Stochastic epigenetic mutations (SEMs) have been proposed as novel aging biomarkers to capture heterogeneity in age-related DNA methylation changes. SEMs are defined as outlier methylation patterns at cytosine-guanine dinucleotide sites, categorized as hypermethylated (hyperSEM) or hypomethylated (hypoSEM) relative to a reference. Because SEMs are defined by their outlier status, it is critical to differentiate...
