Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: DNA methylation (DNAm) provides a window to characterize the impacts of environmental exposures and the biological aging process. Epigenetic clocks are often trained on DNAm using penalized regression of CpG sites, but recent evidence suggests potential benefits of training epigenetic predictors on principal components. METHODOLOGY/FINDINGS: We developed a pipeline to simultaneously train three...
