* Package name : python-pyaging * URL : https://github.com/rsinghlab/pyaging * License : BSD Programming Lang: Python Description : toolkit for biological aging clock analyses pyaging is a Python package for analyzing biological aging clocks, built on a GPU-optimized PyTorch backend. It provides a comprehensive toolkit for researchers working in the field of aging. . Genomic DNA is not static: beyond mutations and copy number variations arising during cell divisions, direct chemical modifications occur, commonly referred to as epigenetic changes. These include various types of DNA methylation, which can now be quantified in tissues with several experimental technologies. . Over the past decade, such epigenetic signatures have been shown to be strongly associated with aging. This has enabled the research community to distinguish chronological age from biological age on a molecular level. pyaging offers practical tools to process and analyze large-scale molecular aging clock data, making them accessible for researchers and laboratory staff with basic data analysis skills. The package is meant to be team-maintained at https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/python-pyaging.
