Article Synopsis
- * Traditional methods for studying DNA methylation are invasive, so this study explores using buccal (cheek) cells as a less invasive alternative to collect biomarkers related to stunting.
- * Using adaptive sampling from Oxford Nanopore Technology, researchers found that stunted children had lower levels of 5-methylcytosine and identified specific gene loci on chromosome 21 that are differentially methylated and previously unassociated with stunting.
