014,896–38,016,197). This is an example of a lineage-specific DMR, defined as a locus in which all samples of a group are found outside the range of methylation in the other groups. Chimpanzee samples were used during the following step of lineage assignment.bA putative ...
DNA methylationis an essential epigenetic phenomenon in manygenetic processesduring normal development. It is abiochemical processinvolving the addition of amethyl groupto thecytosineoradenine nucleotides. It alters the transcription and expression of genes when cells divide and differentiate into specific ...
DNA methylation is a fundamental epigenetic mark that governs gene expression and chromatin organization, thus providing a window into cellular identity and developmental processes1. Current datasets typically include only a fraction of methylation sites and are often based either on cell lines that under...
Alkylation is performed using electrophilic (“electron-loving”) compounds such as dimethyl sulfate and iodomethane, which react in a nucleophilic substitution. For example, ethers may be produced by methylation of alkoxides, and ketones may be produced by methylation of ketone enolates. In another...
RNAmethylationis an important posttranslational gene regulatory mechanism discovered in 1975, and its impact on theRNA metabolismand gene expression is analyzed by high-throughputRNA sequencingwith the individual's expertise to distinguish the methylated form ofRNAs. Among eukaryotes, the most sensitive ...

(q <0.05) between women and men (Additional file6). Importantly, 124 of these genes were located on autosomal chromosomes and include genes known to be involved in myogenesis and energy metabolism, in line with GSEA. For example,CTF1had higher expression in men andMAMSTR,TFB1MandLDHBhad ...
Adversarial training enhances the predictive performance and the robustness of iDNA-ABF Adversarial training is an important component of our iDNA-ABF. To investigate the effectiveness of the adversarial training, we compared our original iDNA-ABF with the model without the use of adversarial training....
In particular, somatic cell turnover is pervasive in mammalian tissues, but the dynamics of birth, death and replacement are difficult to measure. For example, in the intestine, small numbers of mitotic epithelial stem cells maintain intestinal crypts and undergo random turnover such that only one...
Overview of how probe number and multi-gene bias is taken into account in GOmeth. CpGs are not evenly spaced throughout the genome. Gene 1 has methylation measured at three CpGs, and gene 2 has methylation measured at eight CpGs. The CpG shaded in blue is an example of a shared genomic...
