What is epigenetic age estimation?

Epigenetics is the study of molecules and mechanisms that influence the expression of genes without changing the DNA sequence. One of these molecules is DNA methylation- the addition of a methyl group to the DNA sequence. At certain areas of the genome, the amount of DNA methylation present changes with age in a predictable manner, thereby allowing us to use it to estimate age with a lot of accuracy. This is exactly what we use to estimate your pet's age.
