Variants in the genome affect DNA methylation

A new study by scientists at deCODE Genetics, a subsidiary of Amgen, shows that sequence variants drive the correlation between DNA methylation and gene expression. The same variants are linked to various diseases as well as other human traits. Kari Stefansson, senior...
