Arguing for the Desirability of Multi-Omics Aging Clocks (opens in new tab)

Machine learning techniques can be used to generate aging clocks from any sufficiently complex set of biological data obtained from individuals of varying chronological ages. The research community is generating new clocks at a fair pace, most of which are doomed to vanish into obscurity, while trying to better understand best use cases and limitations of the small number of very well-studied clocks. As researchers here point out, when omics data is used as the foundation for a clock, it is t...
