15 мая 2023 г. · In this Review, we examine the use of twin studies as researchers become interested in new phenotypes, including those based on omics technologies.

Twin studies allow researchers to examine the overall role of genes in the development of a trait or disorder. Comparisons between monozygotic (MZ or identical) ...

Twin studies typically compare the similarity of identical and nonidentical twins to draw inferences about genetic and environmental influences on traits.

Twin studies uncover genetic and environmental contributions. Twins share the same genes but their environments become more different as they age. This unique ...

Twin studies not only control for genetic selection; they also control for shared-environmental selection, without identifying either the specific genes or the ...
