There was nominally significant evidence of slower aging rates in skin samples from four queens, the oldest of which showed substantially younger epigenetic age as predicted by the skin clock ( Fig. 6 ) ( P = 0.038 for the pan-tissue clock, Fig. 6d ; P = 0.061 for the human–NMR clock, Fig. 3e ; P = 0.0025 for the skin clock).

DNA methylation clocks tick in naked mole rats but queens age more slowly than nonbreeders.
