SCIENTISTS FD DNA DIFFERENC BETWEEN GAY MEN AND THEIR STRAIGHT TW BROTHERS
Tw pairs which at least one tw is homosexual were soliced through announcements the gay prs and personal referrals om 1980 to the prent. An 18-page qutnnaire on the "sexualy of tws" was filled out by one or both tws. Thirty-eight pairs of monozygotic tws (34 male pairs … * twin gay men *
Ngun reported that studyg the geic material of 47 pairs of intil male tws, he has intified “epigeic marks” ne areas of the human genome that are strongly lked to male dividuals, said Ngun, the prence of the distct molecular marks n predict homosexualy wh an accuracy of close to 70%.
Geicists suggt that together, the human genome and s epigenome reflect the teractn of nature and nurture -- both our fixed herance and our bodi’ flexible rpons to the world -- makg who we ’s study of tws don’t reveal how or when a male tak on the epigenomic marks that distguish him as homosexual. ”To fd the epigenomic markers of male homosexualy, Ngun, a postdoctoral rearcher at UCLA’s Geffen School of Medice, bed through the geic material of 47 sets of intil male tws. Thirty-seven of those tw sets were pairs which one was homosexual and the other was heterosexual.

But the existence of tw pairs which one is homosexual and the other is not offers strong evince that somethg other than DNA alone fluenc sexual orientatn. So they unleashed a mache learng algorhm on the data to search for regulari that distguished the epigenom of homosexual tw-pairs om tws which only one was ne pact regns sttered across the genome, they found patterns of epigenomic differenc that would allow a predictn far more accurate than a random gus of an dividual’s sexual orientatn, Ngun reported Thursday.
McCarthy and other experts utned that the disvery of epigenomic marks suggtive of homosexualy is a far cry om fdg the of sexual distctive epigenomic marks observed by Ngun and his lleagu uld rult om some other blogil or liftyle factor mon to homosexual men but unrelated to their sexualy, said Universy of Utah geicist Christopher Gregg.

FOR GAY MEN, AN ATTRACTNTO A DIFFERENT KD OF SCENT
Swedish rearchers show that homosexual and heterosexual men rpond differently to two odors that may be volved sexual aroal, and that gay men rpond same way as women; new rearch may open way to studyg pheromon humans; they are known to ern sexual activy animals, but experts differ about their role, if any, makg humans sexually attractive to one another; rearch supportg existence of human pheromon is reported The Proceedgs of the Natnal Amy of Scienc; two chemils study were ttosterone rivative produced men's sweat and trogen-like pound women's ure, both of which have long been spected of beg pheromon; new fdg, if nfirmed, would break ground two important directns, those of human pheromon and human sexualy (M) * twin gay men *
In fact, scientists recently intified two specific gen that appear to differ between gay and straight men [1]. In s like this, some might argue that perhaps both tws are actually gay, but one jt hasn’t e out yet. In a study where scientists looked at the sexual aroal patterns of intil tws wh different sexuali—specifilly, where one was gay and the other was straight—they found that gay tws monstrated more genal aroal rponse to same-sex imag, whereas straight tws monstrated more aroal rponse to oppose-sex imag [2].
In theory, this means two people uld rry “gay gen, ” but both of them wouldn’t necsarily be gay pendg on certa environmental factors. Tw pairs which at least one tw is homosexual were soliced through announcements the gay prs and personal referrals om 1980 to the prent. Two sets ntaed a pair of monozygotic tws nrdant for sexual orientatn wh the third triplet dizygotic and disrdant for homosexual orientatn.
