Tracing ancestry with methylation patterns: most crypts appear distantly related in normal adult human colon
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The ability to discern ancestral relationships between individual human colon crypts is limited. Widely separated crypts likely trace their common ancestors to a time around birth, but closely spaced adult crypts may share more recen...
