The Epigenetic Clock Framework
Measure biological age
The Epigenetic Clock Framework is a method for measuring biological age by analyzing epigenetic marks on DNA. This framework is based on the idea that epigenetic changes can be used to estimate an individual's biological age, which can be different from their chronological age. The framework involves measuring the levels of epigenetic marks, such as methylation, at specific locations on the DNA.

The Horvath Clock is an example of the Epigenetic Clock Framework in action. It uses a statistical model to analyze epigenetic mark data and estimate biological age.
The Epigenetic Clock Framework was developed by Steve Horvath and his team at UCLA. They discovered that by analyzing the levels of epigenetic marks on DNA, they could accurately estimate an individual's biological age. This framework has been used to study aging and age-related diseases, and has the potential to be used as a tool for predicting health outcomes.
