Epigenomic diversity of colorectal cancer indicated by LINE-1 methylation in a database of 869 tumors

BACKGROUND: Genome-wide DNA hypomethylation plays a role in genomic instability and carcinogenesis. LINE-1 (L1 retrotransposon) constitutes a substantial portion of the human genome, and LINE-1 methylation correlates with global DNA methylation status. LINE-1 hypomethylation in colon cancer has been...
