For this methods that accurately evaluate cellular age are required. However such techniques are currently limited and based on post hoc evaluation using a limited set of histological markers. Development of a technique capable of predicting cellular age and its modifiers requires a framework that can robustly handle the noise associated with single cell sampling protocols. Here we implement GERAS GEnetic Reference for Age of Single cell a machine learning based framework capable of assigning individual cells to chronological stages based on their transcriptomes. GERAS displayed greater than 90% accuracy in predicting the chronological stage of zebrafish beta cells and human pancreatic cells. The framework demonstrates robustness against biological and technical noise as evaluated by its performance on independent samplings of single cells. Additionally GERAS enabled the evaluation of differences in calorie intake and body mass index on the aging of zebrafish and human cells respectively. We further harnessed the predictive power of GERAS to identify genome wide molecular factors that correlate with aging. We show that one of these factors junb which declines in expression with aging is necessary to maintain the proliferative state of juvenile beta cells. Our results showcase the applicability of a machine learning framework to predict the chronological stage of heterogeneous cell populations.

For this methods that accurately evaluate cellular age are required. However such techniques are currently limited and based on post hoc evaluation using a limited set of histological markers. Development of a technique capable of predicting cellular age and its modifiers requires a framework that can robustly handle the noise associated with single cell sampling protocols. Here we implement GERAS GEnetic Reference for Age of Single cell a machine learning based framework capable of assigning individual cells to chronological stages based on their transcriptomes. GERAS displayed greater than 90% accuracy in predicting the chronological stage of zebrafish beta cells and human pancreatic cells. The framework demonstrates robustness against biological and technical noise as evaluated by its performance on independent samplings of single cells. Additionally GERAS enabled the evaluation of differences in calorie intake and body mass index on the aging of zebrafish and human cells respectively. We further harnessed the predictive power of GERAS to identify genome wide molecular factors that correlate with aging. We show that one of these factors junb which declines in expression with aging is necessary to maintain the proliferative state of juvenile beta cells. Our results showcase the applicability of a machine learning framework to predict the chronological stage of heterogeneous cell populations.
