Strategy of cell culture. A single HMEC was inoculated in a well by limiting dilution, and the cell was expanded up to approximately 106 cells. Based on the plating efficiencies during the two transfers and the actual final cell count, the number of cells that should have been produced at the time of harvest and the number of generations observed were calculated. DNA was extracted from the final cells, and used for bisulfite sequencing. Six independent cultures were performed.
