Cellular Heterogeneity–Adjusted cLonal Methylation (CHALM) improves prediction of gene expression
Abstract
Here, the authors introduce Cell Heterogeneity–Adjusted cLonal Methylation (CHALM) as a methylation quantification method that considers the heterogeneity of sequenced bulk cells. They apply CHALM to methylation datasets to detect differentially methylated genes that exhibit distinct biological functions supporting underlying mechanisms.
