Fig. 2.
Mapping sequences with differential DNA methylation between MZ twins using AIMS. (A Left) Example of an AIMS analysis in 3- and 50-year-old twin pairs. Differential anonymous bands corresponding to sibling-specific changes of DNA methylation are indicated with arrows. (A Right) Number of differential bands obtained by AIMS in 3- and 50-year-old twin pairs. (B) Bisulfite genomic sequencing of 12 clones of the repetitive DNA sequence Alu-SP obtained by AIMS in 3- and 50-year-old twin pairs. Schematic representations of the methylation status of each CpG dinucleotide. Black and white dots indicate methylated and unmethylated CpGs, respectively.
