frogdreaming, I am well aware that telomere length is an indicator of age, in fact the article I quoted stated that it was an "index". I was not arguing that it is the genetic basis of age. I am comfortable in my own mind that age does indeed have a genetic basis. I am familiar with the science but thank you for the reminder about some of the other factors that can affect telomere length. I did not claim that DNAP were able to determine telomere length from SNPs (it is very easy to tell this simply by reading the bases concerned directly), or that this was some sort of precursor to make their approach "viable".
