Description:
Article The effects of genetic variation on DNA methylation patterns are poorly understood. Here, Shi et al. systematically map methylation-quantitative trait loci in lung, breast and kidney tissue to reveal the impact of inherited variation on the human methylome, which also affects cancer risk.
