Project description:Human DNA methylation Beadchip v1.2 was used to profile n=335 whole blood samples. The main goal of the study was to measure the epigenetic age (also known as DNA methylation age) of Hispanics and Caucasians from the USA. To measure DNA methylation age, we used the epigenetic clock software described in Horvath S (n=2013) DNA methylation age of human tissues and cell types. Genome Biology.2013, 14:R115. DOI: 10.1186/10.1186/gb-2013-14-10-r115 PMID: 24138928.
Project description:Human DNA methylation Beadchip v1.2 was used to analyze n=259 human saliva samples from Caucasians (non-Hispanic whites) and Hispanics collected from the PEG study (directed by Dr Beate Ritz). The main goal of the study was to measure the epigenetic age (also known as DNA methylation age) of saliva. To measure DNA methylation age, we used the epigenetic clock software described in Horvath S (n=2013) DNA methylation age of human tissues and cell types. Genome Biology.2013, 14:R115. DOI: 10.1186/10.1186/gb-2013-14-10-r115 PMID: 24138928.
Project description:Human DNA methylation Beadchip v1.2 was used to profile n=310 whole blood samples. The main goal of the study was to measure the epigenetic age (also known as DNA methylation age) of different ethnic groups. Here we focus on subjects older than 35. Groups include Tsimane Indians, Hispanics, and Caucasian samples. To measure DNA methylation age, we used the epigenetic clock software described in Horvath S (n=2013) DNA methylation age of human tissues and cell types. Genome Biology.2013, 14:R115. DOI: 10.1186/10.1186/gb-2013-14-10-r115 PMID: 24138928.
