A high-fat diet alters genome-wide DNA methylation and gene expression in SM/J mice

Abstract Background While the genetics of obesity has been well defined, the epigenetics of obesity is poorly understood. Here, we used a genome-wide approach to identify genes with differences in both DNA methylation and expression associated with a high-fat diet in mice. Results We weaned genetica...
