Epigenomic studies suggest that DNA methylation profiles can indicate chronological age, which is essential in forensic investigation. Here, we analyzed DNA methylation at CpG sites in five genes to investigate their potential to predict human age. Human blood DNA samples, obtained from Iraqi subjec...
