Abstract: Identifying and validating molecular targets of interventions that extend the human health span and lifespan has been difficult, as most clinical biomarkers are not sufficiently representative of the fundamental mechanisms of ageing to serve as their indicators. In a recent breakthrough, biomarkers of ageing based on DNA methylation data have enabled accurate age estimates for any tissue across the entire life course. These ‘epigenetic clocks’ link developmental and maintenance processes to biological ageing, giving rise to a unified theory of life course. Epigenetic biomarkers may help to address long-standing questions in many fields, including the central question: why do we age?

TL;DR: While the DNA methylation patterns and subsequent age predictions from EpiTYPER®, pyrosequencing, and MiSeq systems are largely comparable for the CpG sites studied, SNaPshotTM gives bigger differences reflected in higher predictive errors, which can be reduced by applying a z-score data transformation.

Environmentally Induced Epigenetic Plasticity in Development: Epigenetic Toxicity and Epigenetic Adaptation.
Fu-Ying Tian,Carmen J. Marsit +1 more
TL;DR: Current environmental epigenetic research suggests that epigenetic processes may serve as a mechanism for resilience, and that they can be considered in terms of their impact on toxicity as a negative outcome, but also on adaptation for improved survival or health.
Alcohol consumption and methylation-based measures of biological age.
Jacob K. Kresovich,Alexandra M Martinez Lopez,Emma L Garval,Zongli Xu,Alexandra J. White,Dale P. Sandler,Jack A. Taylor +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated associations between self-reported alcohol consumption and various metrics of epigenetic age acceleration, including the GrimAge epigenetic clock, and found that lifetime and recent average consumption measures were positively associated with GrimAgeAccel.
The epigenetics of inflammaging: The contribution of age-related heterochromatin loss and locus-specific remodelling and the modulation by environmental stimuli.
Christine Nardini,Jean Francois Moreau,Noémie Gensous,Francesco Ravaioli,Paolo Garagnani,Maria Giulia Bacalini +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown how age-associated epigenetic modifications concerned with heterochromatin loss and gene-specific remodelling, can promote inflammaging and how the exposure to specific nutritional, environmental and microbial stimuli can affect the rate of inflammaging through epigenetic mechanisms.

Regression Shrinkage and Selection via the Lasso
TL;DR: A new method for estimation in linear models called the lasso, which minimizes the residual sum of squares subject to the sum of the absolute value of the coefficients being less than a constant, is proposed.
Regularization and variable selection via the elastic net
Hui Zou,Trevor Hastie +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the elastic net often outperforms the lasso, while enjoying a similar sparsity of representation, and an algorithm called LARS‐EN is proposed for computing elastic net regularization paths efficiently, much like algorithm LARS does for the lamba.
Gene Expression Omnibus: NCBI gene expression and hybridization array data repository
TL;DR: The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) project was initiated in response to the growing demand for a public repository for high-throughput gene expression data and provides a flexible and open design that facilitates submission, storage and retrieval of heterogeneous data sets from high-power gene expression and genomic hybridization experiments.

DNA methylation age of human tissues and cell types
TL;DR: It is proposed that DNA methylation age measures the cumulative effect of an epigenetic maintenance system, and can be used to address a host of questions in developmental biology, cancer and aging research.
