  1. ...elements and processed pseudogenes, have made an indelible impact on the structure and function of the human . One consequence is the creation of new CpG islands (CGIs). In fact, more than half of all CGIs in the are associated with repetitive DNA, three-quarters of which are derived from retrotransposons...
  2. ...for this article.] In mammalian DNA, cytosines within CpG dinucleotides are heavily methylated throughout the , yet there are several discrete “islands” that contain a high frequency of unmethylated CpG sites. These are called CpG islands (CGI), and their identification has long been considered important...
  3. ...methylation has substantially impacted the large-scale evolution of mammalian s. Spontaneous deamination elevates the mutation rate at methylated cytosines (Bird 1980). Consequently, germline DNA methylation profiles have shaped the CpG landscape of mammalian s (Cohen et al. 2011), resulting in the CpG island...
  4. ...in cancer cells, particularly down-regulation of genes with tumor suppressor functions by hypermethylation of their promoter regions (Ting et al. 2006). In mammals, the predominant form of DNA methylation occurs symmetrically on the cytosine residues on both strands of CpG dinucleotides, although...
  5. ...maintenance. (A) The top bars represent the percentages of gene body probes with different basal DNA methylation values (β≥ 0.75) of intermediate (0.25 < β < 0.75) and low (β≤ 0.25) in genes with and without promoter CpG islands (CpGi) in HCT116 cells. The pie charts represent promoter methylation profiles...
  6. ...(http://www.bioinformatics.bbsrc.ac.uk/projects/seqmonk/). Concordance with the Batmanmethylation score was assessed for those CpG sites covered by at least 10 reads. Pyrosequencing One microgram each of pooled DNA from the MPNST, NF, and SC samples was bisulfite-treated using a EZ DNA methylation kit...
  7. ...DNA methylation coverage rate, at nearly 96% of the human liver and can also detect strand-specific whole- methylome. Compared with WGBS, the advantages of GPS include higher cytosine coverage, especially in CpG islands and repetitive elements, and higher accuracy in DNA methylation detection...
  8. ...; Valouev et al. 2011; Portela et al. 2013). Epigenetic changes, in particular the aberrant DNA methylation and silencing of CpG island (CGI) promoters, are a common signature of cancer (Baylin and Jones 2011). This early observation, alongwith the fact that >60%of promoters are locatedwithin CGIs, has...
  9. ...regulation (Kelly et al. 2010; Wolff et al. 2010; Andreu-Vieyra et al. 2011; Taberlay et al. 2011; You et al. 2011). To date, however, research has primarily focused on DNA methylation and loss of function of CpG island-containing promoters, which represent only a small proportion of the potential regulatory...
  10. ...such as the breast cancer susceptibility gene BRCA1 (Tapia et al. 2008) supports the notion that tumor suppressors are frequently inactivated by DNA methylation at CpG islands and promoters. Genome-scale methods including MeDIP-seq (Ruike et al. 2010) and CHARM (Irizarry et al. 2009) have confirmed global...
