Multi-omics analysis reveals divergent epigenetic regulation of gene expression and drivers of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (WGBS)

Purpose: Epigenetic landscapes can shape physiologic and disease phenotypes. We used whole genome bisulfite sequencing, RNAseq, and ChIP-seq technologies to understand the methylome profiling, gene expression and regulation via epigenetic alterations on esophageal sequamouse carcinoma comparing to adjacent non-tumor tissues. Methods: Frozen surgical removed specimens of ten matched normal and tumor samples were used for DNA.
