Fig. 3: Epigenetic ageing rate during the active and hibernation seasons of 11 yellow-bellied marmots with samples collected in consecutive years.
From: Hibernation slows epigenetic ageing in yellow-bellied marmots
Epigenetic ageing rates were calculated using the epigenetic ages from the EPM model. The points represent the rate of epigenetic ageing calculated for each individual. The individuals with negative rates of epigenetic ageing and the individual with the highest rate during the active season are all old females (details in Supplementary Information). The box includes the rate values in between the first and third quartiles (the 25th and 75th percentiles), the horizontal black line represents the median and the whiskers extend from the box to the largest or lowest value no further than 1.5 times the distance between the first and third quartiles.
