DNA Methylation Clocks May Require Tissue-Specific Adjustments for Accurate Aging Estimates
BUFFALO, NY—February 12, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Aging (Aging-US) on January 3, 2025, in Volume 17, Issue 1, titled “Characterization of DNA methylation clock algorithms applied to diverse tissue types.” Researchers Mark Richardson, Courtney Brandt, Niyati Jain, James L. Li, Kathryn Demanelis, Farzana Jasmine, Muhammad G. Kibriya, Lin Tong, and Brandon L. Pierce from the University of Chicago and University of Pittsburgh, studied how biological aging is measured using DNA. Their study found that while commonly used “DNA methylation clocks” work well for blood samples…
