About the Project

Most complex diseases have strong genetic components, yet MZ twins, who have identical DNA sequences, are frequently discordant. Studying DNA methylation patterns may help explain this discordance and elucidate environmental influences on complex traits. We have samples of MZ twins discordant for several complex traits including migraine, moliness, drinking and smoking, for whom whole methylation data are available. We are looking for a student with good skills in genetics, statistics, and bioinformatics, and preferably some knowledge of molecular biology to undertake analysis of this valuable dataset. Note however, that this is not a wet laboratory project.
