This repository contains the analysis scripts used in the study “Distinct epigenetic landscapes of aging and type 2 diabetes in human pancreatic islets”. The code implements the full analytical workflow applied to human pancreatic islet multi-omic data, including DNA methylation (Illumina EPIC), RNA-sequencing, and genotyping data. Scripts are written primarily in R. Scripts are numbered to reflect the logical order of the analysis pipeline: 01-qc_methylation.R – DNA methylation quality control and preprocessing 02-PCA.R – Principal component analysis (PCA) and covariate assessment 03-EWAS.R – Epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) 04-Volcano_plots.R – Visualization of EWAS results 05-mQTL.R – cis-mQTL analysis to identify CpG sites under genetic control 06-eQTM.R – eQTM model specification 07-eQTM_target.R – eQTM target gene identification 08-WGCNA.R – Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) of eQTM-identified genes 09-eQTL.R – Cis-eQTL analysis 10-MR_file_prep.R – Preparation and harmonisation of mQTL and eQTL inputs for Mendelian randomization 11-MR.R – Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses testing causal effects of DNA methylation on gene expression 12-Methylation_score.R – Construction of a methylation risk score (MRS) 13-Polygenic_score.sh – Polygenic risk score (PRS) calculation 14-Score_plots.R – Visualisation and performance assessment of MRS/PRS models
| selected citations These citations are derived from selected sources. This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | 0 | |
| popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network. | Average | |
| influence This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | Average | |
| impulse This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network. | Average |
