You’ve collected saliva and want to work with epigenetic clocks⏱️ developed in blood DNAm, will you get the same measure? The answer: moderately so, depending on the algorithm! Excited to share my first PhD pub with @laraffington.bsky.social doi.org/10.1186/s131... #MPRGBiosocial

Applying blood-derived epigenetic algorithms to saliva: cross-tissue similarity of DNA-methylation indices of aging, physiology, and cognition - Clinical Epigenetics
Background Epigenetic algorithms of aging, health, and cognition, based on DNA-methylation (DNAm) patterns, are prominent tools for measuring biological age and have been linked to age-related disease...
