Particulate Matter-Induced Hypomethylation of Alu and LINE1 in Normal Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells and Epidermal Keratinocytes

Researchers quantitatively measured the methylation content of Alu and LINE1 in particulate matter-treated normal human bronchial epithelial cells and normal human epidermal keratinocytes by using whole-genome bisulfite sequencing and pyrosequencing.
