| Abstract | DNA methylation is essential not only in cellular differentiation but also in diseases. Identification of differentially methylated patterns between case and control groups is important in understanding the mechanism and possible functionality of complex diseases. We propose a method to find possible functionally methylated regions which not only are differentially methylated but also have an effect on gene expression. It integrates methylation and gene expression data and is based on distance discriminant analysis (DDA). In the procedure of identifying differentially methylated regions (DMRs), we do not need to cluster methylation sites or partition the genome in advance. Therefore, the identified DMRs have a larger coverage than those of bump hunting and Ong's methods. Furthermore, through incorporating gene expression data as a complementary source, whether these DMRs are functional is determined through estimating the difference of the corresponding genes. Through a comparison of our approach with bump hunting and Ong's methods for simulation data, it is shown that our method is more powerful in identifying DMRs which have a larger distance in the genome, or only consist of a few sites and have higher sensitivity and specificity. Also, our method is more robust to heterogeneity of data. Applied to different real datasets, we find that most of the functional DMRs are hyper-methylated and located at CpG rich regions (e.g. islands, TSS200 and TSS1500), consistent with the fact that the methylation levels of CpG islands are higher in tumors than normal. Through comparing and analyzing the results of different datasets, we find that the change of methylation in some regions may be related to diseases through changing expression of the corresponding genes, and show the effectiveness of our method. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
