I occasionally try to explain and comment on ME researchh, or even contribute to it. And I advocate for more and better research.
This powerful poem, Art Therapy, might resonate on #SevereMEDAy. It's by my friend and published poet Veronica Ashenhurst, who grows ever more severe. #Gaslighting

Most of the DNA differences studies are single letters. In the pic above (and here), one person has the letter A, while another has the letter G at the same position.
DecodeME looks to see if people with ME have significant differences at these letters compared with controls. Cont...

How DecodeME looked for DNA differences:
DecodeME was a genome-wide association study (GWAS). Looking at each of 3 billion letters costs too much. So GWAS only in those places where people often have different letters from each other. About 800,000 place for DecodeME.

#DecodeME in case you a quick reminder about DNA and how it underpins this study:
DNA carries the instructions for how to make and run a human body. It’s effectively a very long string of four different chemicals, named A, T, C and G for short.
