Data for methylclock package


Bioconductor version: Development (3.24)

Data resources used by the methylclock package to estimate chronological, gestational and biological age from DNA methylation, and to adjust those estimates for blood cell composition. It provides the coefficient tables of the individual clocks, the CpG sets of the mitotic counters, the weights of the neural network clock, and example methylation datasets. It also provides nine cell type reference datasets (andrews and bakulski cord blood, blood gse35069, blood gse35069 chen, blood gse35069 complete, combined cord blood, cord blood gse68456, gervin and lyle cord blood, guintivano dlpfc, saliva gse48472), downloaded from meffil (https://github.com/perishky/meffil/), which are used to estimate cell counts for the extrinsic epigenetic age acceleration (EEAA) method. All resources are served through ExperimentHub.
