Epigenetic clock and methylation studies in elephants
2020-09-22
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> 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. Here we present epigenetic clocks for African and Asian elephants. These clocks were developed using novel DNA methylation profiles of 140 elephant blood samples of known age, at loci that are highly conserved between mam...
