Scientists have developed a method that can determine an organism’s biological age with unprecedented precision. Researchers expect new insights into how the environment, nutrition, and therapies influence the aging process.

Using the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans, researchers at the University of Cologne have developed an ‘aging clock’ that reads the biological age of an organism directly from its gene expression, the transcriptome...
