DNA methylation is a key epigenetic factor regulating gene expression. While promoter methylation has been well studied, recent publications have revealed that functionally important methylation also occurs in intergenic and distal regions, and varies across genes and tissue types. Given the growing importance of inter-platform integrative genomic analyses, there is an urgent need to develop methods to discover and characterize gene-level relationships between methylation and expression.
