Effect of body composition methodology on heritability estimation of body fatness [PDF]
Heritability estimates of human body fatness vary widely and the contribution of body composition methodology to this variability is unknown. The effect of body composition methodology on estimations of genetic and environmental contributions to body ...

Monozygotic twins with ulcerative colitis [PDF]
Abstract Monozygous twin sisters developed ulcerative colitis within 7 years of each other. Both had distal colitis confirmed by histology and radiology. Their maternal grandmother subsequently developed the disease. The long interval between the onset of the disease in the twins suggests a role for environmental factors in addition to ...

Whole genome and exome sequencing of monozygotic twins discordant for Crohn’s disease
BackgroundCrohn’s disease (CD) is an inflammatory bowel disease caused by genetic and environmental factors. More than 160 susceptibility loci have been identified for IBD, yet a large part of the genetic variance remains unexplained. Recent studies have

Tangent functional connectomes uncover more unique phenotypic traits [PDF]
Functional connectomes (FCs) contain pairwise estimations of functional couplings based on pairs of brain regions activity. FCs are commonly represented as correlation matrices that are symmetric positive definite (SPD) lying on or inside the SPD manifold.

The relationship between Hippocampal asymmetry and working memory processing in combat-related PTSD: a monozygotic twin study [PDF]
BACKGROUND: PTSD is associated with reduction in hippocampal volume and abnormalities in hippocampal function. Hippocampal asymmetry has received less attention, but potentially could indicate lateralised differences in vulnerability to trauma.

Background Although the genomes of monozygotic twins are practically identical, their methylomes may evolve divergently throughout their lifetime as a consequence of factors such as the environment or aging. Particularly for young and healthy monozygotic

Digital Twin as a Service (DTaaS): A Platform for Digital Twin Developers and Users [PDF]
Establishing digital twins is a non-trivial endeavour especially when users face significant challenges in creating them from scratch. Ready availability of reusable models, data and tool assets, can help with creation and use of digital twins. A number of digital twin frameworks exist to facilitate creation and use of digital twins.
