Abstract
The aging process is influenced by several factors, including the accumulation of mutations and the acquisition of epigenetic alterations throughout life. A recent study by Koch and colleagues demonstrates that these seemingly independent mechanisms interact: somatic mutations affect DNA methylation and epigenetic age predictions.
