Tóm tắt

Using a noninvasive DNA methylation (DNAm)-based age estimation method, we investigate the age structure of humpback whales that newly emerged around Hachijojima Island, Tokyo Metropolis, Japan to uncover the role of this area for this species. We measured DNAm frequencies at three age-related genes (
