RCP: a new metric to quantify and compare epigenetic flexibility
Did you ever wonder if cells of alligators and zebras transmit epigenetic information with the same accuracy? Or, for that matter, whether DNA methylation patterns are as stable in diseased tissues, as they are in normal tissues? It is now possible to address such questions. RCP: the Ratio of Concordance Preference is a new metric, to quantify and compare epigenetic flexibility and stability across loci, cell types, and developmental stages, without assuming any specific bio
