A new monocyte epigenetic clock reveals nonlinear effects of alcohol consumption on biological aging in three independent cohorts (N = 2242)

TL;DR: A novel monocyte-based DNA methylation clock (MonoDNAmAge) is developed to assess the impact of alcohol consumption on monocyte age and the results suggest a nonlinear relationship between alcohol consumption and epigenetic age alteration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epigenome-wide association study of posttraumatic stress disorder identifies novel loci in U.S. military veterans

TL;DR: In this article , the authors performed a single-sample epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) of PTSD and identified six genome-wide significant (GWS) sites associated with past-month PTSD and three CpGs with lifetime PTSD.

DNA methylation mediates the effect of cocaine use on HIV severity

TL;DR: DNAm played a mediation role between cocaine use and HIV severity in a veteran population and these genes were enriched in pathways involving in viral process and response to cytokine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomics and variation of ionotropic glutamate receptors: implications for neuroplasticity.

TL;DR: Two approaches were used to identify sequence variants in ionotropic glutamate receptor (IGR) genes: high-throughput screening and resequencing techniques, and “information mining” of public and private sequence databases.
