Identical Twins Share Matching Epigenetics

It’s often said that twins share an uncanny bond. An international team of investigators has now discovered a new phenomenon that occurs in identical twins that shows just how close their biology can get. The research found that, independent of their identical genes, monozygotic (MZ) twins share an additional level of molecular similarity that influences their characteristics. Findings from the new study—published today in Genome Biology in an article entitled “ Epigenetic Supe
