Method for the accurate determination of age from nuclear DNA by identifying n6-methyladenine levels at specific genomic regions

A molecular biology method, by which relative (normalized to an internal control) N6-methyladenine (6mA) level at a selected specific genomic site in a tissue sample containing numerous individual cellular genomes is accurately determined, and this level is projected to a reference “6mA level-age” curve determined earlier. The relative 6mA level of the examined individual assigns her / his (biological) age on the curve. The reference curve was previously established by determining 6mA levels of a large (>1000) number of healthy individuals with known age. On the reference curve, the relative 6mA level correlates with age; the higher the 6mA level at the tested genomic site, the higher the age of the individual analyzed. The accuracy of the measurement depends on the accuracy of the method by which 6mA level is determined.
