The book also shows methods for bioinformatic analysis of the epigenome. The book is broken into two sections: the first looks at eukaryotic DNA methylation and the second addresses how to integrate genomic medicine into clinical practice.\n\nThe book includes chapters on these topics:\n\n Gene expression in colon cancer tissue\n\n Epigenetics in human acute kidney injury\n\n Embryologically relevant candidate genes in MRKH patients \n\n DNA methylation in common skeletal disorders \n\n Causal relationships in genomics\n\n Predicting sevs
