Welcome to CheekAge Explorer

A tool for exploring buccal/lifestyle data and for CheekAge calculations.

CheekAge Explorer


Welcome! You can use this tool to explore a large human buccal dataset in the context of a lifestyle and demographic survey and to run predictions on methylation EPIC data.

The Methylation tab will let you plot specific CpGs as a function of age or delta CheekAge, the Explore tab can be used to generate custom plots from lifestyle, demographic, technical, and predicted data, and the Prediction tab can be used to run the CheekAge clock on your own methylation data.

For more info please see the CheekAge: A novel next-generation buccal epigenetic aging clock associated with lifestyle and health.

To download a sample dataset for prediction please right-click and save this sample dataset.
If you have a larger dataset you would like to process, please reach out to max@tallyhealth.com to set up a collaboration.

Disclaimer 2: The CheekAge prediction module assumes beta or M-value EPIC methylation data from buccal cells.
