Genome-wide methylation and expression analysis of two breast cancer cell lines [Methyl-MAPS]
To improve our understanding of the relationships between methylation and expression we profiled mRNA expression and single-base resolution methylation levels for two breast cancer cell lines, MCF7 and T47D. Expression was profiled using RNA-seq.  Methylation was assayed using Methyl-MAPS, which uses methylation-sensitive and -dependent restriction enzyme digests followed by high-throughput sequencing to identify methylation levels at individual CpGs (Edwards et al. 2010, Genome Research). Overall design: DNA Methylation was assayed for two breast cancer cell lines using Methyl-MAPS.
