DNA Methylation Analysis
DNA methylation at the C5 position of cytosine plays a crucial role in gene expression and chromatin remodeling. Perturbations in methylation patterns are associated with tumorigenesis, neurodegenerative diseases and neurological disorders. Bioinformatic analysis of methylomes is widely used in various research areas, including studies on gene regulation, cell differentiation, embryogenesis, aging, occurrence and development of disease, phenotypic diversity and evolution in plants and animals.
