CpG island methylation in a mouse model of lymphoma is driven by the genetic configuration of tumor cells.

CpG island methylation in a mouse model of lymphoma is driven by the genetic configuration of tumor cells.

Hypermethylation of CpG islands is a common epigenetic alteration associated with cancer. Global patterns of hypermethylation are tumor-type specific and nonrandom. The biological significance and the underlying mechanisms of tumor-specific aberrant promoter methylation remain unclear, but some evid...
