Summary: The biological mechanism of cadmium's effects is poorly characterized. This data was generated in order to help better understand the epigenetic role that Cadmium plays. We used the MIRA assay and the Affymetrix Human Promoter 1.0R Array in order to measure methylation levels in promoter regions.
