[HTML][HTML] DNA methylation predicts age and provides insight into exceptional longevity of bats

…, G Jones, M Knörnschild, EZ Lattenkamp, CZ Li… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
Exceptionally long-lived species, including many bats, rarely show overt signs of aging,
making it difficult to determine why species differ in lifespan. Here, we use DNA methylation (…

[HTML][HTML] A mammalian methylation array for profiling methylation levels at conserved sequences

…, SB Kwon, H Vu, E Maciejewski, M Yao, CZ Li… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
Infinium methylation arrays are not available for the vast majority of non-human mammals.
Moreover, even if species-specific arrays were available, probe differences between them …

Universal DNA methylation age across mammalian tissues

AT Lu, Z Fei, A Haghani, TR Robeck, JA Zoller, CZ Li… - BioRxiv, 2021 - biorxiv.org
Aging is often perceived as a degenerative process resulting from random accrual of cellular
damage over time. Despite this, age can be accurately estimated by epigenetic clocks …

[HTML][HTML] DNA methylation clocks tick in naked mole rats but queens age more slowly than nonbreeders

…, A Haghani, N Macoretta, J Ablaeva, JA Zoller, CZ Li… - Nature Aging, 2022 - nature.com
Naked mole rats (NMRs) live an exceptionally long life, appear not to exhibit age-related
decline in physiological capacity and are resistant to age-related diseases. However, it has …

DNA methylation clocks for dogs and humans

…, AT Lu, A Haghani, JA Zoller, CZ Li… - Proceedings of the …, 2022 - National Acad Sciences
DNA methylation profiles have been used to develop biomarkers of aging known as epigenetic
clocks, which predict chronological age with remarkable accuracy and show promise for …

[HTML][HTML] Multi-species and multi-tissue methylation clocks for age estimation in toothed whales and dolphins

TR Robeck, Z Fei, AT Lu, A Haghani… - Communications …, 2021 - nature.com
The development of a precise blood or skin tissue DNA Epigenetic Aging Clock for Odontocete
(OEAC) would solve current age estimation inaccuracies for wild odontocetes. Therefore, …

…, GM Pinho, A Haghani, JA Zoller, CZ Li… - Communications …, 2021 - nature.com
Effective conservation and management of threatened wildlife populations require an
accurate assessment of age structure to estimate demographic trends and population viability. …

[HTML][HTML] Epigenetic clock and methylation studies in cats

K Raj, B Szladovits, A Haghani, JA Zoller, CZ Li… - GeroScience, 2021 - Springer
Human DNA methylation profiles have been used successfully to develop highly accurate
biomarkers of aging (“epigenetic clocks”). Although these human epigenetic clocks are not …
