How to Test Your Biological Age Without Fooling Yourself
What biological age tests measure, which clocks are worth running, how to compute them yourself from IDATs and a blood panel, and how much of the number is noise.

Reproducing a Genetic Genie Methylation Report From Your Own Raw Data
Genetic Genie's methylation panel reads about two dozen genotypes out of a consumer array file. This guide shows how to extract and verify those calls yourself, what they can and cannot tell you, and how to measure actual DNA methylation if that is what you were after.
Which Epigenetics Test Is Worth Buying, and What to Do With the Output
A practical comparison of DNA methylation tests: which array, which clocks, how to get the raw IDATs, and how to process them yourself with sesame and dnaMethyAge. Plus the noise sources that make a single epigenetic age number close to meaningless.
What David Sinclair's Biological Age Test Measures
The Sinclair-associated biological age test is a buccal DNA methylation clock. Here is what methylation clocks measure, how noisy they are, and how to get data you can analyze yourself.
