Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: DNA methylation dynamics in the brain are associated with normal development and neuropsychiatric disease and differ across functionally distinct brain regions. Previous studies of genome-wide methylation differences among human brain regions focus on limited numbers of individuals and one to two brain regions. RESULTS: Using GTEx samples, we generate a resource of DNA methylation in purified neuronal...
