Study of 864 dogs found giant breeds lost approximately 35% more DNA methylation per year at LINE1 transposable elements than small breeds, suggesting that faster epigenetic aging and reduced regulation of these “jumping genes” may help explain why larger dogs have shorter lifespans.

A study in mice reconstructed the largest mammalian cell lineage tree to date, tracing 1.28 million cells in a 13.5-day-old embryo using a DNA recording technology, revealing how cells descended from a single fertilized egg and contributed to the development of different tissues and organs.
