Cross-validation study of epigenetic clocks for vervet monkeys and humans. A–D Four epigenetic clocks that only apply to vervet. Leave-one-sample-out estimate of DNA methylation age (y-axis, in units of years) versus chronological age for A all available vervet tissues, B vervet blood, C vervet cerebral cortex, D vervet liver. Tenfold cross-validation analysis of the human-vervet monkey clocks for E, F chronological age and G, H relative age, respectively. E, G Human samples are colored in magenta and vervet samples are colored by vervet tissue type, and analogous in F, H but restricted to vervet samples (colored by vervet tissue type). Each panel reports the sample size (in parentheses), correlation coefficient, median absolute error (MAE)
