Deskripsi

Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying DNA methylation in cancer and its clinical relevance remains crucial. Here, the authors study RRBS-based profiles of 1538 breast tumours and 244 normal breast tissues from the METABRIC cohort and report epigenomic instability and cis-regulatory effects.
