Age estimation based in DNA methylation (Duration: 2017–2025)

Duration: 2017 – 2025

Abstract: DNA methylation levels in CpG sites of several genes emerged in last years for age estimation purposes because of its potential application in forensic genetics. The goal of this project is to develop age prediction models in biological samples of living and deceased individuals based in CpG methylation ratios of age-associated genes.
