What are Differentially Methylated Regions (DMRs)?
Differentially Methylated Regions (DMRs) are segments of DNA that exhibit differences in methylation patterns between different groups or conditions. Methylation is a biochemical process involving the addition of a methyl group to the DNA molecule, particularly at cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) sites. This process can regulate gene expression without altering the DNA sequence itself, making it a key component of epigenetics.
