Genome-wide DNA methylation analysis reveals loci that distinguish different types of adipose tissue in obese individuals
3 May 2017
Abstract excerpt
Epigenetic mechanisms provide an interface between environmental factors and the genome and are known to play a role in complex diseases such as obesity. These mechanisms, including DNA methylation, influence the regulation of development, differentiation and the establishment of cellular identity. Here we employ two approaches to identify differential methylation between two white adipose tissue depots in obese...
