Genome-scale DNA methylation mapping of clinical samples at single-nucleotide resolution.

abstract：:We describe a protein quantification method called neutron encoding that exploits the subtle mass differences caused by nuclear binding energy variation in stable isotopes. These mass differences are synthetically encoded into amino acids and incorporated into yeast and mouse proteins via metabolic labeling. Mass spec...
