Methylclock - DNA methylation-based clocks
Bioconductor version: 3.23 · Package version: 1.18.0
This package allows to estimate chronological and gestational DNA methylation (DNAm) age as well as biological age using different methylation clocks. Chronological DNAm age (in years) : Horvath's clock, Hannum's clock, BNN, Horvath's skin+blood clock, PedBE clock and Wu's clock. Gestational DNAm age : Knight's clock, Bohlin's clock, Mayne's clock and Lee's clocks. Biological DNAm clocks : Levine's clock and Telomere Length's clock.
