DNA methylation landscapes of 1538 breast cancers reveal a replication-linked clock, epigenomic instability and cis-regulation

Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying DNA methylation in cancer and its clinical relevance remains crucial. Here, the authors study RRBS-based profiles of 1538 breast tumours and 244 normal breast tissues from the METABRIC cohort and report epigenomic instability and cis-regulatory effec...
