It is well known that dietary composition affects lifespan, but whether the effects of diet are mediated through interactions with genetics is unknown. By careful tracking of genome-wide allele frequency in Drosophila, we identify hundreds of loci that affect longevity only in the context of a high-sugar diet.
We profiled human DNA methylation for 987 GTEx samples across nine tissues and characterized how genetic regulation of the methylome, compared with the transcriptome, contributes to GWAS phenotypes. This resource contributes to our understanding of molecular regulatory mechanisms in human tissues and their effects on complex traits.
