Did you really have COVID? New epigenetic tests can tell you!

Epigenetic testing is revealing more and more about our biological age, diseases, behaviors and environments. In this important study, top epigenetic researchers Derek Jacoby @derekja and Piyush Acharya used a new model for epigenetic testing called "Mobius" to discover whether someone has ME/CFS (aka Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) or Long COVID. This is important because about 470 million people have these diseases, the symptoms can be similar, but their treatments can vary and it is estimated that 90% of people with ME/CFS are currently being misdiagnosed as having Long COVID. The Mobius model for epigenetic testing advances our ability to use epigenetic tests to assess which diseases a person has had with much greater accuracy, offering the prospect of clinical diagnoses in the future. Here is a link to Mobius on IEEE Xplore: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/11046171 Free preprint on Biorxiv: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.05.25.656018v1 This study is open source and Derek and Piyush would welcome inquiries from anyone interested in partnering or using the Mobius model.
