Stable Methylation Patterns
Steve Horvath explains that methylation patterns are remarkably stable and more accurate measures of aging than any other genomic measurement. These patterns are stable not just in vivo, but also when people collect DNA. The epigenetics clocks track several hundred locations in the genome, and while each location gains methylation in a continuous fashion, some locations gain methylation while others lose methylation.In this clip
