Tobacco Smoking Leads to Extensive Genome-Wide Changes in DNA Methylation

Environmental factors such as tobacco smoking may have long-lasting effects on DNA methylation patterns, which might lead to changes in gene expression and in a broader context to the development or progression of various diseases. We conducted an epigenome-wide association study (EWAs) comparing cu...
