New Words in Human Mutagenesis
Background: The substitution rates within different nucleotide contexts are subject to varying levels of bias. The most well known example of such bias is the excess of C to T (C ...

A Beta-Mixture Model for Dimensionality Reduction, Sample Classification and Analysis
Background: Patterns of genome-wide methylation vary between tissue types. For example, cancer tissue shows markedly different patterns from those of normal tissue. In this paper ...

Two-part permutation tests for DNA methylation and microarray data
Background: One important application of microarray experiments is to identify differentially expressed genes. Often, small and negative expression levels were clipped-off to be e...

Predicting methylation status of CpG islands in the human brain
Motivation: Over 50% of human genes contain CpG islands in their 5'-regions. Methylation patterns of CpG islands are involved in tissue-specific gene expression and regulatio...

Probe signal correction for differential methylation hybridization experiments
Background: Non-biological signal (or noise) has been the bane of microarray analysis. Hybridization effects related to probe-sequence composition and DNA dye-probe interactions h...

Identification of a small optimal subset of CpG sites as bio-markers from high-throughput DNA methylation profiles
Background: DNA methylation patterns have been shown to significantly correlate with different tissue types and disease states. High-throughput methylation arrays enable large-sca...
