Title: Learning Multi-Relational Graph Representations for DNA Methylation-Based Biological Age Estimation
Abstract:
arXiv:2605.07175v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Aging clocks aim to estimate biological age, a measure of physiological state distinct from chronological age, from observable biomarkers, and are widely used for health assessment and disease analysis. DNA methylation is a particularly informative biomarker due to its stability and strong association with aging, and recent learning-based approaches have improved predictive performance. However, most existing methods treat CpG sites as independen
