The article mentioned that the addition and removal of methyl groups from DNA as animals got older could be used to determine the animals' biological age. By comparing the methylation states of 320 humans, ages 1 to 103 years, with those of 104 Labrador retrievers, ages 5 weeks to 16 years, the researchers realized that the correlation between human age and dog years changed over time. Puppies develop much faster than humans. However, as dogs get older, their aging curve begins to flatten. Yellow Labrador retrievers was the main focus of this study. Further research is needed to cover all breeds because the life spans of other breeds vary.
