Time for a short thread! We developed HiddenFoot, a biophysics-inspired approach to decode single-molecule footprinting data and infer TF, nucleosome, and RNA Pol II binding profiles on individual DNA molecules. One molecule at a time! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Most previous epigenetic age predictors were focused on DNA methylation. Our own model suggested nucleosome positioning as an age predictor a year ago onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
Aging clock based on nucleosome reorganisation derived from cell‐free DNA
We show that aging is associated with an increase in the distance between nucleosomes, which can be used to predict a person's age and conduct age classification. We developed the first aging clock b...
