A minimal number CpGs of ELOVL2 gene for a chronological age estimation using pyrosequencing

Chronological age estimation is an important piece of human identification used in forensic practice. Epigenetic modifications, especially DNA methylation, have been proposed to predict age. The methylation of the ELOVL2 gene is one of the age-related markers that could be tested in fresh or post…
