Zusammenfassung: | A method for determining the age of a biological sample comprising measuring a methylation level of a set of methylation markers in genomic DNA of the biological sample. An age of the biological sample is determined with a statistical prediction algorithm, comprising (a) obtaining a linear combination of the methylation marker levels, and (b) applying a transformation to the linear combination to determine the age of the biological sample. |
