Genome-wide mapping of sex-associated autosomal DNA methylation in major blood cell types

Yutaro Yanagida, Yutaka Nakachi, Miki Bundo, Syohei Komaki, Atsushi Shimizu, Kazuya Iwamoto

The paper maps sex-associated DNA methylation in blood cell types using whole genome bisulfite sequencing data from the iMETHYL database, identifying cell-type specific differentially methylated sites and their functional implications.
