tissues and 8 ethnicities at CpGs covered by the Illumina450K array. We identified 4143 …

There is a growing interest in leadership and leadership development in Africa. This is evident
from the increase in available literature on the topic over the past decade. For example, a …

Human height is strongly influenced by genetics but the contribution of modifiable epigenetic

There is an increase in literature on leadership in Africa, and this growing body of work
documents the need for a leadership transformation, as well as the need to contextualise …

First identified in isogenic mice, metastable epialleles (MEs) are loci where the extent of DNA
methylation (DNAm) is variable between individuals but correlates across tissues derived …

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology promises to revolutionize the way we track
items in supply chain, retail store, and asset management applications. The size and …
