Aging is deeply interwoven with cellular and physiological biology, but the extent is not known. Here, I demonstrate that the Gene Length-dependent Transcription Decline (GLTD) which marks age-dependent transcriptional change is not specific to aging. Instead, it follows perturbations in 5,231 of 11,959 public gene expression profiles. My analysis suggests the hypothesis that during the passage of time, exposure to myriad perturbations change transcriptomes in a way that would be described as "aging".

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
