Investigating the relationship of DNA methylation with mutation rate and allele frequency in the human genome

BACKGROUND: DNA methylation, which mainly occurs at CpG dinucleotides, is a dynamic epigenetic regulation mechanism in most eukaryotic genomes. It is already known that methylated CpG dinucleotides can lead to a high rate of C to T mutation at these sites. However, less is known about whether and ho...
