Analysis of nonlinear gene expression progression reveals extensive pathway and age-specific transitions in aging human brains.

Several recent gene expression studies identified hundreds of genes that are correlated with age in brain and other tissues in human. However, these studies used linear models of age correlation, which are not well equipped to model abrupt changes associated with particular ages. We developed a comp...
