Abstract excerpt
The potential use of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) in cell-based therapies points out the critical importance of epigenomic evaluation for cell-based therapies. Specifically, DNA methylation appears to be a crucial player in establishing cell fate commitment and lineage choices. In this study, we report the global changes observed on the CpG islands distributed in promoters, gene bodies, and intergenic...
