This study examines DNA methylation in children from a Congo Basin community, linking it to family dynamics like parental conflict and father caregiving, and identifies associated biological pathways.

RAMEN dissects gene-environment contributions to DNA methylome variability in cord blood, finding genetics explains the largest proportion of DNAme variance.

The paper examines how cellular heterogeneity in saliva affects DNA methylation and epigenetic age acceleration, showing differences based on cell type composition and reference panels.

CellsPickMe improves blood cell deconvolution in longitudinal DNA methylation studies by integrating cord and adult references, enhancing accuracy across developmental stages.

This study shows prenatal DEHP exposure increases ASD and ADHD symptoms through DNA methylation changes in children.

This study identifies DNA methylation sites in PBMCs associated with cumulative family adversity in children, suggesting PBMC DNAm as a marker for biological embedding of cumulative adversity.
