um you do see these characteristic changes in the epigenome with age and so I would say one place where their utility is clear at least to me is as a chronological measure right now you might ask okay why would I ever want to you know use an epigenetic clock to to to tell my chronological age I know how old I am right but forensics for example might be a place where that's useful their crime has been committed they want to know with some level of precision how old the the perpetrator is you could use an epigenetic clock for that reason um you know and in in in my world as part of the dog aging project there are many dogs you know that are rescued an owner might want to know their age so I think that is a that is a real use and and clearly the clocks will work for that
