Abstrakt: Aging is a complex and multifactorial process that increases the risk of various age-related diseases and there are many aging clocks that can accurately predict chronological age, mortality, and health status. These clocks are disconnected and are rarely fit for therapeutic target discovery. In this study, we propose a novel approach to multimodal aging clock we call Precious1GPT utilizing methylation and transcriptomic data for interpretable age prediction and target discovery developed using a transformer-based model and transfer learning for case-control classification. While the accuracy of the multimodal transformer is lower within each individual data type compared to the state of art specialized aging clocks based on methylation or transcriptomic data separately it may have higher practical utility for target discovery. This method provides the ability to discover novel therapeutic targets that hypothetically may be able to reverse or accelerate biological age providing a pathway for therapeutic drug discovery and validation using the aging clock. In addition, we provide a list of promising targets annotated using the PandaOmics industrial target discovery platform.
