Cell-type-specific resolution epigenetics without the need for cell sorting or single-cell biology

Compared to bulk data, cell-type-specific DNA methylation data provide higher resolution of epigenetic variation. Here, the authors introduce Tensor Composition Analysis, a novel computational approach for learning cell-type-specific DNA methylation from tissue-level bulk data, and show its applicat...
