Pan-cancer analysis revealed H3K4me1 at bivalent promoters premarks DNA hypermethylation during tumor development and identified the regulatory role of DNA methylation in relation to histone modifications

Abstract Background DNA hypermethylation at promoter CpG islands (CGIs) is a hallmark of cancers and could lead to dysregulation of gene expression in the development of cancers, however, its dynamics and regulatory mechanisms remain elusive. Bivalent genes, that direct development and differentiati...
