Predicting lung adenocarcinoma disease progression using methylation-correlated blocks and ensemble machine learning classifiers

Applying the knowledge that methyltransferases and demethylases can modify adjacent cytosine-phosphorothioate-guanine (CpG) sites in the same DNA strand, we found that combining multiple CpGs into a single block may improve cancer diagnosis. However, survival prediction remains a challenge. In this...
