DNA methylation is known to be associated with cell differentiation, aging, disease and cancer. There exists an expanding base of knowledge regarding tissue-specific DNA methylation, but we have little information about person-specific DNA methylation. Here, we analyze the DNA methylation patterns of multiple tissues from multiple individuals using a high-throughput quantitative assay of genome-wide DNA methylation, namely the Illumina GoldenGate BeadArray. DNA methylation patterns were largely ...[more]
