[HTML][HTML] Large-scale topological changes restrain malignant progression in colorectal cancer
Widespread changes to DNA methylation and chromatin are well documented in cancer, but
the fate of higher-order chromosomal structure remains obscure. Here we integrated …

Underlying features of epigenetic aging clocks in vivo and in vitro
Epigenetic clocks, developed using DNA methylation data, have been widely used to
quantify biological aging in multiple tissues/cells. However, many existing epigenetic clocks …
