Significant associations between driver gene mutations and DNA methylation alterations across many cancer types
Abstract Recent evidence shows that mutations in several driver genes can cause aberrant methylation patterns, a hallmark of cancer. In…
Pan-cancer stratification of solid human epithelial tumors and cancer cell lines reveals commonalities and tissue-specific features of the CpG island methylator phenotype
Abstract Background: The term CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) has been used to describe widespread DNA hypermethylation at CpG-rich genomic…
