This study focuses on the task of supervised prediction of aging-related genes from -omics data. Unlike gene expression methods for this task that capture aging-specific information but ignore interactions between genes (i.e., their protein…
Background. Human aging is linked to many prevalent diseases. The aging process is highly influenced by genetic factors. Hence, it is important to identify human aging-related genes. We focus on supervised prediction of such genes. Gene…
Gene expression (GE) data capture valuable condition-specific information ("condition" can mean a biological process, disease stage, age, patient, etc.) However, GE analyses ignore physical interactions between gene products, i.e.,…
Motivation: Since susceptibility to diseases increases with age, studying aging gains importance. Analyses of gene expression or sequence data, which have been indispensable for investigating aging, have been limited to studying genes and…
The study of signatures of aging in terms of genomic biomarkers can be uniquely helpful in understanding the mechanisms of aging and developing models to accurately predict the age. Prior studies have employed gene expression and DNA…
Investigation of age-related genes is of great importance for multiple purposes, for instance, improving our understanding of the mechanism of ageing, increasing life expectancy, age prediction, and other healthcare applications. In his…
Human aging is a process controlled by both genetics and environment. Many studies have been conducted to identify a subset of genes related to aging from the human genome. Biologists implicitly categorize age-related genes into genes that…
