Release Lineage
Entered 3.14 · Oct 27, 2021
Current · Requires R 4.6
Description
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.
