Epigenetic (DNA-methylation) biological-age estimate — Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, CA is home to UCLA, where Steve Horvath built the original multi-tissue epigenetic clock: Horvath S. 'DNA methylation age of human tissues and cell types.' Genome Biol. 2013;14(10):R115 -- a single-author landmark built from 353 CpG sites across 8,000 samples spanning 82 datasets and 51 healthy tissues and cell types, achieving a median age-prediction error of 3.6 years and r=0.96 correlation with chronological age. This library's own GrimAge tile already carries a Framingham connection for the newer, mortality-focused clock from the same lab -- the original 2013 clock is a distinct, earlier UCLA contribution, offered where the field itself began.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Validated DNA-methylation age (and/or telomere length) result with the clock/method named, the biological-vs-chronological gap, and an explicit note it is a research-grade trend, not a diagnosis

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Bring

• validated DNAm/telomere test kit or accredited lab
• chain-of-custody / mailer
• prior result for trend if available

Steps

1. 1. Collect the sample per the validated kit (usually a blood spot or saliva) or arrange a lab draw; follow handling exactly.
2. 2. Record the specific clock/method used (clocks are not interchangeable).
3. 3. Capture the reported biological age (and/or telomere length) with the method's reference framing.
4. 4. Compute the biological-vs-chronological age gap.
5. 5. Frame explicitly as a research-grade longitudinal trend; attach the report and sign it. Make no clinical decision from a single value.

What counts as done

• DNAm biological age (and/or telomere length) from a validated method, with the specific clock named
• Biological-vs-chronological age gap computed
• Explicit framing as a research-grade longitudinal trend, not a clinical diagnosis

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
