The International Human Epigenome Consortium (IHEC) coordinates the generation of a catalog of high-resolution reference epigenomes of major primary human cell types. The …
DNA methylation microarrays can be employed to interrogate cell-type composition in complex tissues. Here, we expand reference-based deconvolution of blood DNA …
Genomics has revolutionized biology, enabling the interrogation of whole transcriptomes, genome-wide binding sites for proteins, and many other molecular processes. However …
Background Exposure to early-life adversity is known to predict DNA methylation (DNAm) patterns that may be related to psychiatric risk. However, few studies have investigated …
Background The link between DNA methylation, obesity, and adiposity-related diseases in the general population remains uncertain. Methods and Findings We conducted an …
Gene expression analyses of bulk tissues often ignore cell type composition as an important confounding factor, resulting in a loss of signal from lowly abundant cell types. In this review …
An outstanding challenge of epigenome-wide association studies (EWASs) performed in complex tissues is the identification of the specific cell type (s) responsible for the observed …
