Differential methylation of tissue- and cancer-specific CpG island shores distinguishes human induced pluripotent stem cells, embryonic stem cells and fibroblasts

Akiko Doi, In-Hyun Park, Bo Wen, Peter Murakami, Martin J Aryee, Rafael Irizarry, Brian Herb, Christine Ladd-Acosta, Junsung Rho, Sabine Loewer, Justine Miller, Thorsten Schlaeger, George Q Daley & Andrew P Feinberg

Published online: 01 November 2009 | doi:10.1038/ng.471

Andrew Feinberg and colleagues show that differential methylation of CpG island shores distinguish human induced pluripotent stem cells from the fibroblasts from which they were derived. These differentially methylated regions of the genome can also distinguish normal colon tissue from colorectal cancer.


Until print versions of AOP papers are published, they should be cited in the style "Author(s) Nature Genetics advance online publication, day month year (doi:10.1038/ngXXXXX)". Once the print version (identical to the AOP) is published, it should be cited as follows: "Author(s) Nature Genetics volume, page (year); advance online publication, (doi:10.1038/ngXXXXX)".
