Abstract
Age-associated changes in DNA methylation of the c-myc gene in liver were compared between humans and mice which have large differences in aging rate. Although the overall methylation profiles of the gene and their age-related changes were found to be similar, the rate of change was much slower in humans than in mice. It suggests that the age-associated alteration of c-myc gene methylation is closely related to biological aging rather than to chronological aging.
