Various biological attributes associated with individual fitness in animals change predictably
over the lifespan of an organism. Therefore, the study of animal ecology and the work of …

Infinium methylation arrays are not available for the vast majority of non-human mammals.
Moreover, even if species-specific arrays were available, probe differences between them …

Aging, often considered a result of random cellular damage, can be accurately estimated
using DNA methylation profiles, the foundation of pan-tissue epigenetic clocks. Here, we …

Aging is often perceived as a degenerative process resulting from random accrual of cellular
damage over time. Despite this, age can be accurately estimated by epigenetic clocks based …

Sperm is essential for successful artificial insemination in dairy cattle, and its quality can be
influenced by both epigenetic modification and epigenetic inheritance. The bovine germline …

Cytosine methylation patterns have not yet been thoroughly studied in horses. Here, we
profile n= 333 samples from 42 horse tissue types at loci that are highly conserved between …

Epigenetic approaches for estimating the age of living organisms are revolutionizing studies
of long‐lived species. Molecular biomarkers that allow age estimates from small tissue …

Age determination of wild animals, including pinnipeds, is critical for accurate population
assessment and management. For most pinnipeds, current age estimation methodologies …

Using DNA methylation profiles (n= 15,456) from 348 mammalian species, we constructed
phyloepigenetic trees that bear marked similarities to traditional phylogenetic ones. Using …

ABSTRACT DNA methylation has proven to be the most promising age-predictive biomarker
in mammals resulting in the emergence of 'epigenetic clocks' that describe the relationship …
