About

There is a big change in our understanding of aging in recent years. Recent researches has revealed clock-like patterns of epigenetic change across in humans. The aging involves a timed epigenetic reprogramming. However, this biological clock which ticks in our DNA is affected by our experience, diet, stress, etc. and it could be changed by experience and life style potentially.

The purpose of this study is to develop and test non-invasive biomarkers based on methylation changes in ELOVL2-AS1 gene in saliva samples using a next generation sequencing.
