Personalized epigenetic gene card: colored cells are the deviation of the epigenetic age contribution (in years) of the CpG sites or their associated genes from their average epigenetic age contribution, for seven individuals at chronological age of 40–41 years (sample number is # GSM). The average epigenetic age for 40–41 years old men is 45.7 years. We show two samples ~ 5 years below epigenetic average age (light gray), three samples at average epigenetic age (darker gray), and two samples ~ 5 years above epigenetic average age (dark gray). Cells with orange to red colors are for genes associated with CpG sites with age contribution above average. Cells in green, or light green, associate with CpG sites on genes with age contribution below average
