Promoter DNA methylation is a well-established mechanism of transcription repression, but its global correlation with gene expression is surprisingly weak. This weak correlation is due in part to the failure of current methylation quantification methods to consider the heterogeneity among sequenced bulk cells. Here, we introduce Cell Heterogeneity-Adjusted cLonal Methylation (CHALM) as a novel methylation quantification method. CHALM better explains the functional consequences of DNA methylation, such as its correlations with gene expression and H3K4me3. When applied to different methylation datasets, the CHALM method has uniquely detected differentially methylated genes that exhibit distinct biological functions supporting underlying mechanisms.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
