An international team of researchers has used methylation fingerprinting data as input to a machine-learning algorithm to identify different types of brain tumors. In their paper published in the journal Nature, the team ...
A pair of researchers at Emory University has found that some CpGs in the genome can be hemimethylated by design, rather than by chance. In their paper published in the journal Science, Chenhuan Xu and Victor Corces describe ...
