| Sintesi≠ | A time-series epigenome-wide association study (time-series EWAS) extends the classic cross-sectional EWAS design to longitudinal settings, measuring DNA methylation across the entire epigenome at multiple time points within the same subjects. The goal is to identify CpG sites whose methylation levels change systematically over time, or to characterise how epigenetic associations with an exposure or phenotype evolve across developmental stages, treatment periods, or disease trajectories. | An epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) is a hypothesis-free, genome-scale method that systematically tests whether epigenetic marks — predominantly CpG-site DNA methylation — differ between individuals with and without a trait, disease, or exposure. By scanning hundreds of thousands of genomic positions simultaneously, EWAS identifies loci where the epigenome is reproducibly associated with a phenotype, offering a layer of biological regulation that classical GWAS does not capture. |
