Individual CpG sites that are associated with age and life expectancy become hypomethylated upon aging

BACKGROUND: There is a growing interest in simple molecular biomarkers for biological aging. Age-associated DNA methylation (DNAm) changes at specific CG dinucleotides can be combined into epigenetic age predictors to estimate chronological age—and the deviation of chronological and predicted age (∆...
