Search for differentially methylated regions in ancient and modern genomes by D. D. Borodko, S. V. Zhenilo, F. S. Sharko

“…Additionally, we developed a new Python­based algorithm that allows for the comparison of methylomes in ancient and modern samples, despite the absence of methylation profiles in modern bone tissue within the context of obesity. This analysis involves a two­step data processing approach, where the first step involves the identification and  filtration of tissue­specific methylation regions, and the second step focuses on the direct search for differentially methylated regions in specific areas associated with the researcher’s target condition. …”
