Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We performed a comparative analysis of the genome-wide DNA methylation profiles from three human embryonic stem cell (HESC) lines. It had previously been shown that HESC lines had significantly higher non-CG methylation than differentiated cells, and we therefore asked whether these sites were conserved across cell lines. RESULTS: We find that heavily methylated non-CG sites are strongly conserved,...
