Deciphering the heterogeneity in DNA methylation patterns during stem cell differentiation and reprogramming.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Determination of genome-wide DNA methylation is significant for both basic research and drug development. As a key epigenetic modification, this biochemical process can modulate gene expression to influence the cell differentiation which can possibly lead to cancer. Due to the involuted biochemical mechanism...
