A fascinating Science study analyzed 1,640 DNA methylomes from 894 dogs. \ud83e\uddec Epigenetic age predicted mortality, with each additional year of residual biological age associated with a 15% higher mortality hazard. Most strikingly, larger dogs showed 31% stronger age-related transposable-element demethylation, especially involving evolutionarily young LINE1 elements. \ud83d\udca1 Large dogs may not simply die earlier\u2014their molecular aging appears compressed and accelerated. A powerful natural model for understanding longevity, genomic instability, and human geroscience. ","author_name":"Dr. RR Baliga's 'Podkast for the Kurious Doc'.
