Differentially Methylated Regions Eckhardt et al. 2006 Nature Genet 38:1379-85
Conclusions • Methylation profiles are stable, specific and to a large extend binary • Methylation at promoters (TSS) correlates with gene expression • Majority of methylation profiles are conserved and DMRs enriched at ECRs • Need for faster and genome-wide assay
MeDIP Input Methylation enriched Methylation depleted Genome-wide assay using MeDIP Weber et al. 2005 Nat Genet. 37:853-862
Rakyan et al., in preparation Epigenome profiling • Designed custom ‘epigenome’ arrays (Nimblegen) for human and mouse • Generated DNA methylation profiles and DMRs for 16 human and 6 mouse tissues/cell lines • First human DNA methylation data to be included in ENSEMBL r = 0.97 (binned); r = 0.84 (unbinned)
