Differentially methylated region
GENOMIC REGIONS METHYLATED DIFFERENTLY BASED ON TISSUE, TIME OR INDIVIDUAL
Differentially methylated regions; Differentially methylated regions (DMRs); Differential methylated regions
Differentially methylated regions (DMRs) are genomic regions with different DNA methylation status across different biological samples and regarded as possible functional regions involved in gene transcriptional regulation. The biological samples can be different cells/tissues within the same individual, the same cell/tissue at different times, cells/tissues from different individuals, even different alleles in the same cell.
