A Novel CpG Island Set Identifies Tissue-Specific Methylation at Developmental Gene Loci
CpG islands (CGIs) are dense clusters of CpG sequences that punctuate the CpG-deficient human genome and associate with many gene promoters. As CGIs also differ from bulk chromo...
De novo methylation of the MyoD1 CpG island during the establishment of immortal cell lines.
CpG dinucleotides are unevenly distributed in the vertebrate genome. Bulk DNA is depleted of CpGs and most of the cytosines in the dinucleotide in this fraction are methylated. ...
Number of CpG islands and genes in human and mouse.
Estimation of gene number in mammals is difficult due to the high proportion of noncoding DNA within the nucleus. In this study, we provide a direct measurement of the number of...
Distinct DNA methylation changes highly correlated with chronological age in the human brain
Methylation at CpG sites is a critical epigenetic modification in mammals. Altered DNA methylation has been suggested to be a central mechanism in development, some disease proc...
MethPrimer: designing primers for methylation PCRs
Abstract Motivation: DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism of gene regulation. Bisulfite- conversion-based PCR methods, such as bisulfite sequencing PCR (BSP) and methylati...
