Epigenomics

How DNA methylation data cleaning and removed values affect epigenetic age estimates

Updated

Abstract

Measures of biological aging based on DNA methylation are commonly used in research across various fields.

  • Quality control of data used for epigenetic clocks may influence the results.
  • Removed beta values during data processing must be considered in the construction of these aging measures.
  • The approach to data quality control could affect the accuracy of biological aging assessments.
