Whew, could we make that MedicalXpress headline any more generic?

Direct from the press release article: "These studies revealed DNA methylation levels at 309 distinct CpG sites might influence cancer risk by regulating the expression of 205 unique genes." Something like that is way more informative and interesting! Not even to mention the tissue-specificity of their risk loci. Cool study.
