Promoter CpG density

Promoter CpG density predicts lifespan in silico (64% of variance between known and predicted lifespans explained).

“Our model predicts fish lifespan from genomic CpG density alone (measured as CpG observed/expected ratio), explaining 64 % of the variance between known and predicted lifespans.”
