Age estimation using methylation-sensitive high-resolution melting (MS-HRM) in both healthy felines and those with chronic kidney disease
Abstract Age is an important ecological tool in wildlife conservation. However, it is difficult to estimate in most animals, including felines—most of whom are endangered. Here, we developed the first DNA methylation-based age-estimation technique—as an alternative to current age-estimation methods—...
