Assessment of DNA methylation patterns in chimpanzee skeletal tissues. Pan troglodytes

The aim of this study was to characterize the genome-wide DNA methylation profiles of chimpanzee trabecular bone samples (n=4), identify how they relate to aspects of femur bone morphology, and assess how these epigenetic patterns relate to those in other primate taxa. The Illumina Infinium MethylationEPIC array was used to assess genome-wide methylation patterns. Overall design: Bisulphite converted DNA from the 4 chimpanzee bone samples were hybridized to the Illumina Infinium MethylationEPIC array.
