Chronological, Gestational and Biological DNAm Age Estimation with Methylation-Based Clocks

Bioconductor version: 3.24 · Package version: 1.99.2

Estimates chronological, gestational and biological DNA methylation (DNAm) age, trait scores and epigenetic age acceleration from methylation beta values. Implements 44 published clocks, selectable by name, family or array platform: chronological (Horvath, Hannum, BNN, skin+blood, PedBE, Wu, AltumAge and others, including the cross-platform Garma clock native to EPICv2), gestational (Knight, Bohlin, Mayne, Lee, NEOage), phenotypic and pace-of-aging (Levine, DunedinPACE), telomere length, mitotic counters (epiTOC1/epiTOC2, HypoClock, stemTOC, RepliTali), causal (CausAge, DamAge, AdaptAge) and trait EpiScores. Accepts matrices, data frames, Bioconductor containers or HDF5 files, computing block-wise out-of-core through BigDataStatMeth when the data exceed memory. Provides configurable missing-value imputation (mean, reference or KNN), cell-type deconvolution, intrinsic and extrinsic epigenetic age acceleration (IEAA, EEAA), quality-control reports and plotting functions.
