Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Ethnic differences in human DNA methylation have been shown for a number of CpG sites, but the genome-wide patterns and extent of these differences are largely unknown. In addition, whether the genetic control of polymorphic DNA methylation is population-specific has not been investigated. RESULTS: Here we measure DNA methylation near the transcription start sites of over 14, 000 genes in 180 cell...
