Characterizing the dynamic and functional DNA methylation landscape in the developing human cortex 2019-10-30 .txt text/plain 5038 231 47 In the present report, we describe the use of whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) to capture an unbiased map of the DNAm landscape, and to characterize both CpG and CpH methylation during prenatal brain development. We performed whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) to better characterize the shifting DNAm landscape in the developing human dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in 20 prenatal samples during the second trimester in utero (Table S1 ). We found that DNAm changes were abundant even during this relatively restricted period in prenatal development, with 36,546 CpG sites differentially methylated across the ages of 14-20 post-conception weeks (PCW, at FDR < 0.05, Table S3 ). The top biological processes associated with genes containing differentially methylated CpGs across age were related to axon development and guidance, and regulation of neuron projection ( Figure S4 , Table S8 ). ./cache/cord-102219-d3gkfo7s.txt ./txt/cord-102219-d3gkfo7s.txt
