New Tool Developed by Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Researchers Decodes Complex DNA Methylation
Researchers in the Center for Computational and Genomic Medicine at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) developed a new tool called the Methylation Screening Array (MSA) to better understand how changes in DNA methylation-mediated regulation of genes, rather than changes in the genes themselves, affect complex human traits like aging and disease risk. This is the first data set to dissect the two forms of DNA methylation---5-methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine---to associate characteristics such as cell composition, gene regulatory mechanism, and epigenetic age in diverse human cell lines and tissues.
