Infancy and early childhood are highly sensitive periods in human development. DNA methylation (DNAme), an epigenetic tag that is deposited on DNA, has been proposed as one of the mechanisms by which early life experiences can become biologically embedded. This project aims to model DNA methylation variability and the contribution of genetic variation and environmental differences to it.

Presentation at the Vancouver Bioinformatics User Group meeting in September 2023. Sharing the stage with my supervisor Dr. Keegan Korthauer, who talks about the overall research themes in our lab.

R package whose goal is to identify Variable Methylated Regions (VMRs) in microarray DNA methylation data. Additionally, using Genotype (G) and Environmental (E) data, it can identify which G, E, G+E or GxE model better explains this variability.s
