Lister 2009, human DNA methylomes (BS-Seq)

Description

First genome-wide, single-base-resolution maps of methylated cytosines in a mammalian genome, from both human embryonic stem cells and fetal fibroblasts, along with comparative analysis of messenger RNA and small RNA components of the transcriptome, several histone modifications, and sites of DNA-protein interaction for several key regulatory factors.

Technical Notes

The sga files were gerenerated from tab-delimited text files available from the URL indicated above. These files provide the ratio of methylated versus non-methylated C-residues in the human genome assembly Mar. 2009 (NCBI36/hg18). Two sga files were generated from each experiment providing the coordinates of "methylated" and "demethylated" (methylation-depleted) C residues, respectively. Only C-residues that occur in a CpG context were considered. A C-residues was considered "methylated" if at least 50% of the reads covering the residue indicated methylation.
