Here it is! The first paper from my lab is out today in #AJHG

In brief, we quantified the changing methylome through a large window of prenatal human articular cartilage development and identified methylation QTLs co-localising with 24 OA risk signals www.cell.com/ajhg/fulltex...
The methylomic landscape of human articular cartilage development contains epigenetic signatures of osteoarthritis risk
Emerging evidence supports developmental factors impacting osteoarthritis risk in older age. Here, we quantify the methylome of 72 human fetal knee cartilage samples and identify 24 independent osteoa...
