Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Interindividual epigenetic variation that occurs systemically must be established prior to gastrulation in the very early embryo and, because it is systemic, can be assessed in easily biopsiable tissues. We employ two independent genome-wide approaches to search for such variants. RESULTS: First, we screen for metastable epialleles by performing genomewide bisulfite sequencing in peripheral blood...
