Abstract
Epigenomics is the genome-wide study of epigenetics such as DNA methylation and histone modification. Epigenetic abnormality plays an important role in the pathogenesis of most cancers. Among these modifications, DNA methylation is the best-known and most important because of its heritable character. Here, recent advances in several technologies for genome-wide profiling of DNA methylation are reviewed. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
