Bioinformatic analysis for age prediction using epigenetic clocks: Application to fisheries management and conservation biology

Dafni Anastasiadi et al.

Summary: Epigenetic clocks are accurate tools for age prediction in fish, and have great potential for fisheries management and conservation biology. This review discusses the computational steps and tools necessary to build an epigenetic clock in any fish species, with a focus on the recommended bisulfite conversion method for distinguishing methylated and unmethylated cytosines. Machine learning statistical procedures, particularly penalized regressions, are applied to identify a set of CpGs that can accurately predict age, and once validated, only a small number of CpGs are needed for age prediction. The implementation of this molecular resource is expected to increase in the future due to its accuracy and decreasing sequencing costs. Accurate age prediction will greatly contribute to fish population management and conservation efforts.

A mammalian methylation array for profiling methylation levels at conserved sequences

Adriana Arneson et al.

Summary: The authors developed a Mammalian Methylation Array that includes 36k well-conserved CpGs in mammals, facilitating cross-species comparisons. They annotated the conserved CpGs in > 200 species. The array allows one to measure methylation in all mammalian species, including unsequenced ones.

Age prediction of green turtles with an epigenetic clock

Benjamin Mayne et al.

Summary: This study presents the development of an epigenetic clock that can predict the age of marine turtles from skin biopsies. The method, based on DNA methylation levels, was highly accurate and has the potential to provide key life history information through a nonlethal and inexpensive approach, transforming marine turtle management.

Environmental DNA: State-of-the-art of its application for fisheries assessment in marine environments

Sergio Ramirez-Amaro et al.

Summary: Fisheries management involves complex tasks, and monitoring fishing activities is challenging. The emerging molecular method of environmental DNA (eDNA) has the potential to provide unique understanding of ecological processes in marine environments and improve fisheries monitoring. Many studies suggest that eDNA has the potential to revolutionize fisheries assessment.

The state of the art in cost-benefit of HTS methods for stock assessment: An overview

Gonzalo Rodriguez-Rodriguez et al.

Summary: Great progress has been made in the development of high-throughput sequencing methods over the past two decades, which have been applied in various fields including fishery assessment and management. However, there is a lack of systematic cost analysis for these methods. Further research is recommended to evaluate the cost-effectiveness and promote the application of high-throughput sequencing methods in fishery management.

Automating fish age estimation combining otolith images and deep learning: The role of multitask learning

Dimitris Politikos et al.

Summary: This study investigated the use of deep learning for automatic fish age estimation, proposing a convolutional neural network and enhancing performance with multitask learning by predicting fish length. The network achieved high accuracy in age prediction, particularly for younger age groups, and showed improved performance for older age groups with multitask learning.

Family-effects in the epigenomic response of red blood cells to a challenge test in the European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax, L.)

Madoka Vera Krick et al.

Summary: By modifying the epiGBS technique, minor changes in genome-wide cytosine methylation in red blood cells of challenged European sea bass were detected. Some genes related to stress coping were found to be differentially methylated after the challenge. This study represents the first attempt to identify epigenetic biomarkers of stress exposure in fish.

Epigenetic Measurement of Key Vertebrate Population Biology Parameters

Matthew J. Heydenrych et al.

Summary: Age, sex, and sexual maturity of individual animals are crucial parameters for assessing wild populations, and DNA methylation can serve as a suitable biomarker for population biology studies. While existing research confirms links between DNA methylation and these parameters, further development and design of DNA methylation-based assays are needed for a more comprehensive understanding.

Epigenetic age prediction

Daniel J. Simpson et al.

Summary: Advanced age is a common risk factor for cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegeneration. Molecular research on aging has been slow due to unreliable tools for predicting biological age. The development of epigenetic clocks has provided a quantitative measure for studying biological aging.

Ageing European lobsters (Homarus gammarus) using DNA methylation of evolutionarily conserved ribosomal DNA

Eleanor A. Fairfield et al.

Summary: Crustaceans are difficult to age due to indeterminate growth and moulting, hindering population dynamics assessment. DNA methylation of rDNA shows potential as a nonlethal ageing technique for European lobsters, with a validated model allowing accurate age estimation. Further validation across known-age individuals and tissue types is needed before application in fisheries management.

Summary: Age is a crucial parameter in wildlife management, but obtaining known ages of wild animals can be challenging. This study used Monte-Carlo simulations to determine that a minimum calibration population size of 70 individuals, ideally 134 or more, is needed to create accurate age estimation models.
