Modeling the consequences of age-linked rDNA hypermethylation with dCas9-directed DNA methylation in human cells.
Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) genes encode the structural RNAs of the ribosome and are present in hundreds of copies in mammalian genomes. Age-linked DNA hypermethylation throughout the rDNA constitutes a robust "methylation clock" that accurately reports age, yet the consequences of hypermethylati...
