A minimal set of tissue-specific hypomethylated CpGs constitute epigenetic signatures of developmental programming.

Cell specific states of the chromatin are programmed during mammalian development. Dynamic DNA methylation across the developing embryo guides a program of repression, switching off genes in most cell types. Thus, the majority of the tissue specific differentially methylated sites (TS-DMS) must be u...
