The multi-tissue epigenetic clock is published
Steve Horvath reports a predictor of chronological age built from DNA methylation at 353 CpG sites that works across most human tissues. For the first time ageing has a cheap, quantitative, tissue-general readout — and immediately the question of whether that readout is a measure of ageing or a correlate of it.
Historical — it happened, and the record is settled.
