Abstract
Histone-specific age prediction models demonstrated surprisingly accurate performance in assessing human aging.
- Seven key histone modifications were analyzed across different human tissues to understand their role in aging.
- Models showed resilience to experimental and artificial noise, indicating robustness in age prediction.
- Simulation experiments indicated competitive performance when compared to DNA methylation age predictors.
- Gene set enrichment analysis revealed critical developmental pathways important for age prediction.
- Unlike DNA methylation predictors, the models prioritized genes known to be involved in aging biology.
- A pan-tissue pan-histone age predictor was developed, suggesting degeneration of age-related epigenetic information across the epigenome.
