Peter Sudmant, Assistant Professor of Integrative Biology, and CCB graduate student Ryan Chung along with co-first author Ryo Yamamoto publish a study on how age plays a more important role than genetics in terms of determining which genes in our bodies are turned on or off. The research creates a correlation between diseases of aging with genetic variation in humans. To study aging and gene expression, Sudmant and his colleagues created a statistical model to analyze 27 different human tissues.
