Abstract

Because each cell type has a unique epigenome to help provide cell specificity, the use of a mixed cell population in the analysis of DNA methylation is a reflection of all cell types present. Therefore, changes in cell population number or composition can suggest differential DNA methylation that is not due to alterations in DNA methylation. The analysis of differential DNA methylation optimally requires the use of purified cell populations.
