Creator description · original language
Webinar by Steve Horvath on the epigenetic clock method from July 26, 2018.
DNA methylation data have enabled accurate age estimates for any tissue across the entire life course. These 'epigenetic clocks' link developmental and maintenance processes to biological ageing, giving rise to a unified theory of life course.
