Sentence examples for using the epigenetic clock from inspiring English sources

Epigenetic age was calculated using the epigenetic clock method/software described in Methods and in [ 11].

Using the online epigenetic clock calculator (http://labs.genetics.ucla.edu/horvath/dnamage/), we obtained DNA methylation predicted age using both the Horvath (1) and Hannum (2) methods, using raw β-values from the ARIES study.

In some studies, the terms epigenetic drift and the epigenetic clock have been used interchangeably, though the necessity to discriminate between them has been identified (Teschendorff et al., 2013).

In fact, the epigenetic clock has already been used to predict the epigenetic age of tissue samples (Horvath, 2013).

Recently, we have developed a highly accurate candidate biomarker of aging based on DNA methylation (DNAm) levels [ 10], known as the "epigenetic clock", which can be used to measure the age of human cells, tissues, and organs.

Perhaps the most exciting feature of the epigenetic clock is the prospect of using it for comparing the ages of different tissues and cell types from the same individual [ 19].

Thus, the epigenetic clock may not have been accelerated.

The epigenetic clock has several advantages over other methods.

These findings imply that the epigenetic clock is distinct from age‐related epigenetic drift.

The consistency of the epigenetic clock, however, points to a common age‐related epigenetic mechanism across individuals.

Both epigenetic drift and the epigenetic clock contribute to age‐related DNA methylation changes, but in fundamentally different ways.
