Long non-coding RNA expression

Long non-coding RNA expression predicts chronological age in humans (MAE 8.04 years; R2 = 0.66).

“The XGBoost model achieved the best performance, with a mean absolute error (MAE) of 8.04 years (R2 = 0.66) in the test cohort.”

Long non-coding RNA expression is associated with chronological age in humans (20 significantly age-associated lncRNAs).

“Spearman's correlation analysis further identified 20 lncRNAs significantly associated with age as candidate markers”
