Genetic impacts on within-pair DNA methylation variance in monozygotic twins capture gene-environment interactions and cell-type effects
Background Genetic variants that are associated with phenotypic variability, or variance quantitative trait loci (vQTLs), have been detected for multiple human traits. Gene-environment interactions ca...

New BioPsy papers were published lately too. Interesting new research from Pedro and colleagues: we've found that the way our brain ages is linked to how our blood ages — and that environmental factors play an important role in this process.
