Prediction of smoking by multiplex bisulfite PCR with long amplicons considering allele-specific effects on DNA methylation

Abstract Background Methylation of DNA is associated with a variety of biological processes. With whole-genome studies of DNA methylation, it became possible to determine a set of genomic sites where DNA methylation is associated with a specific phenotype. A method is needed that allows detailed fol...
