Tissue- and ethnicity-independent hypervariable DNA methylation states show evidence of establishment in the early human embryo
17 Jun 2022
Abstract excerpt
We analysed DNA methylation data from 30 datasets comprising 3474 individuals, 19 tissues and 8 ethnicities at CpGs covered by the Illumina450K array. We identified 4143 hypervariable CpGs ('hvCpGs') with methylation in the top 5% most variable sites across multiple tissues and ethnicities. hvCpG methylation was influenced but not determined by genetic variation, and was not linked to probe reliability,...
