Abstract
Twins' memoirs and autobiographies both enlighten and entertain. These works, often overlooked by researchers, may suggest new avenues for investigation, such as nonshared environmental events that propel twins in different directions. Of course, MZ twins' generally parallel experiences and DZ twins generally criss-crossing paths are the bases of fascinating life stories. The following sections examined recent research on fetal reduction in twin pregnancy, twins' personality and military service, growth restriction in twins, and advances in conjoined twin separation. This article closes with reports of a scientist who performed gene editing on twins, a twin conception from 33-year-old embryos, twins' physical outcomes from dietary differences, fraternal twins with the world's largest height difference and the Twin Home Experts who conquer rat infestation in New York.
期刊介绍:
Twin Research and Human Genetics is the official journal of the International Society for Twin Studies. Twin Research and Human Genetics covers all areas of human genetics with an emphasis on twin studies, genetic epidemiology, psychiatric and behavioral genetics, and research on multiple births in the fields of epidemiology, genetics, endocrinology, fetal pathology, obstetrics and pediatrics.
Through Twin Research and Human Genetics the society aims to publish the latest research developments in twin studies throughout the world.
