Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genetic data are known to harbor information about human demographics, and genotyping data are commonly used for capturing ancestry information by leveraging genome-wide differences between populations. In contrast, it is not clear to what extent population structure is captured by whole-genome DNA methylation data. RESULTS: We demonstrate, using three large-cohort 450K methylation array data sets,...
