Biologists with the Dog Aging Project analyzed DNA methylation across 864 dogs, examining how genes are regulated rather than their sequence. The epigenetic findings help explain why large dog breeds age faster and have shorter lifespans than smaller ones, offering new insight into the biology of aging in pets.
