Objective:
In Project C (R834513C003), we are investigating the effects of exposure to environmental chemicals on the epigenome and its relationship with pubertal onset.
Progress Summary:
Future Activities:
Later this year, we will begin analysis of the relationship between DNA methylation (global and site-specific) and pubertal onset. We will also confirm our preliminary findings for Alu, LINE-1 and Illumina for a larger sample size.
