An information-theoretic approach to the modeling and analysis of whole-genome bisulfite sequencing data

Abstract Background DNA methylation is a stable form of epigenetic memory used by cells to control gene expression. Whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) has emerged as a gold-standard experimental technique for studying DNA methylation by producing high resolution genome-wide methylation profile...
