Epigenetic clocks appear to perform quite well as a measure of chronological age in species that exhibit negligible senescence, meaning that they show little evidence of degenerative aging across much of their life span. Researchers recently published their work on epigenetic aging in lobsters, a species in which a first method of determining chronological age was only discovered comparatively recently.
