GAY WATER, A NEW NNED CKTAIL, WANTS TO BE THE ANTI-BUD LIGHT
For the first time, rearchers have found associatns between homosexualy and markers attached to DNA that n be fluenced by environmental studi and fay tre provi strong evince that sexual orientatn is at least partly geic. When one intil tw is gay, there is about a 20% chance that the other will be as well1. One of the bt characterized is the 'olr brother effect': the chance of a man beg gay creas by 33% for each olr brother he has2.
The 'epi-marks' n be hered, but n also be altered by environmental factors such as smokg, and are not always shared by intil rearchers llected DNA sampl saliva om 37 pairs of intil tws which only one tw was gay, and 10 pairs which both were gay.
CHEMIL TAGS ON DNA APPEAR TO DIFFER BETWEEN GAY AND STRAIGHT MEN
By snng the tws’ epigenom, the rearchers found five epi-marks that were more mon among the gay men than their geilly intil straight brothers.
Ngun says that the rearchers want to replite the study a different group of tws and also terme whether the same marks are more mon gay men than straight men a large and diverse populatn. “We already know there is no 'gay gene', ” says William Rice, an evolutnary geicist at the Universy of California, Santa Barbara.
If there were, he says, would have turned up one of the massive studi that sn the whole genome for variants shared between gay people.
