Epigenomics - Germline Methylation Variation

In the following table the methylation data from CpG island arrays (Flanagan et al., 2005 submitted) are available. The graphs are in a format readable by the UCSC Genome browser. The Genome Browser zooms and scrolls over chromosomes, showing the data in a seperate track next to CpG islands, CpG density and known genes. By clicking on the links, the Genome browser opens automatically, displaying a specific area of a given chromosome (browser start position). From there, the sequence can be explored up- and downstream.

Notes: All maps are based on the May 2004 version of the human genome draft. The May 2004 human reference sequence is based on NCBI Build 35. It has been released in conjunction with the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium's announcement of the successful completion of the Human Genome Project.
This reference sequence covers about 99 percent of the human genome's gene-containing regions, and has been sequenced to an accuracy of 99.99 percent. The missing portions are essentially contained in less than 400 defined gaps that represent DNA regions with unusual structures that can't be reliably sequenced using current technology.
