Transposable Element Methylation Instability Impairs Overall Genomic Regulation in Large Breeds

Why do large dogs tend to live shorter lives than their smaller counterparts? According to a new study of nearly 900 dogs, the answer may be written into their epigenome. The findings reveal that larger and male dogs undergo accelerated molecular aging, with pronounced DNA methylation (DNAm) on the X chromosome and at transposable elements (TEs).
