Although multiple high-performing epigenetic aging clocks exist, few are based directly on gene expression. Such transcriptomic aging clocks allow us to extract age-associated genes directly. However, most existing transcriptomic clocks model a subset of genes and are limited in their ability to predict novel biomarkers. With the growing popularity of single-cell sequencing, there is a need for robust single-cell transcriptomic aging clocks. Moreover, clocks have yet to be applied to investigate the elusive phenomenon of sex differences in aging. We introduce TimeFlies, a pan-cell-type scRNA-seq aging clock for the
