Title: Patterns of aberrant DNA methylation after toxicant-induced malignant transformation (MeDIP-chip dataset 2)
Accession Number: GSE38928

Repository: Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO)
Data Type(s): Gene Expression
Experiment Type(s): Methylation profiling by genome tiling array
Organism(s): Homo sapiens
Summary: Aberrant DNA methylation is frequently observed in cancer. The aim of this study was to determine how DNA methylation is changed after toxicant-induced malignant transformation. This study also puts the DNA methylation changes into context with respect to the aberrant DNA methylation events that occur in bladder and prostate carcinogenesis not associated with toxicant exposure.
