01
What Is a DNA Methylation Test?
A plain-language guide to DNA methylation, what a methylation test measures, and how to interpret its limits.
Read the guideAgeCode learning center
Understand the science before you act on the signal.
Clear, clinically reviewed explanations of functional genomics, DNA methylation, biological-age testing, privacy, and responsible interpretation.
These guides explain testing and interpretation. They do not diagnose disease or replace care from a qualified clinician.

Biological Age vs Chronological Age
Understand the difference between calendar age and a biological-age estimate—and what each can and cannot tell you.

Genetic Testing vs Epigenetic Testing
Compare inherited genetic testing with epigenetic testing and learn why neither represents the whole patient.
