The chronological age of a human individual is an incomplete measure of the individual aging process because it cannot express more information about the molecular level. So how do we measure our actual biological age? Epigenetic biomarkers such as DNA methylation may be a good measure. As we age, our DNA methylation patterns change, which is one of the hallmarks of aging. Each tissue has a different methylation pattern, with specific methylation changes during aging. This is why DNA methylation could be the predictor of choice for our biological age.
CD BioSciences can provide our clients with genome-wide methylation level detection and biological age prediction services for samples, providing researchers with a more economical and reliable methylation research platform. In addition to tissue-specific DNA methylation markers, there may be a general marker. By implementing different regression and statistical methods, we can identify more CpG sites and provide predictive results for a variety of tissues.
Overview of Our DNA Methylation-Based Human Age Prediction Services
We obtain DNA methylation data and then use statistical methods to help clients develop age prediction models. Our high-throughput genomic methylation detection method provides scientific researchers with leading and comprehensive technical services, which can predict the age of DNA methylation for different tissues/cells, and promote the process of human aging, longevity, and aging-related diseases research. We provide methylation models for a variety of samples, including but not limited to:
