Epigenetic Clock in Bears: A Simple Cost-Effective Blood DNA Methylation-Based Age Estimation Method Applicable to Multiple Bear Species. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Age is an essential factor to understand the life history and demographic parameters of wildlife. In this study, we built a common epigenetic clock model for multiple bear species, including brown, Asian black, polar, sun, and Andean bears. The model will contribute to ecological research, conservation, and management of bear species.
