Cancer is ranked as one of the top killers in all human diseases and continues to have a devastating effect on the population around the globe. Current research efforts are aiming...
Background: DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification of the genome. Abnormal DNA methylation may result in silencing of tumor suppressor genes and is common in a va...
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...
