| 摘要 |
Over the past decade, epigenetic clocks have emerged as powerful machine learning tools, not only to estimate chronological and biological age but also to assess the efficacy of anti-ageing, cellular rejuvenation and disease-preventive interventions. However, many computational and statistical challenges remain that limit our understanding, interpretation and application of epigenetic clocks. Here, we review these computational challenges, focusing on interpretation, cell-type heterogeneity and emerging single-cell methods, aiming to provide guidelines for the rigorous construction of interpretable epigenetic clocks at cell-type and single-cell resolution. |
