    Abstract Hundreds of epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) have been performed, successfully identifying replicated epigenomic signals in processes such as aging and smoking. Despite this progress, it remains a major challenge in EWAS to detect both cell type-specific and cell type confounding effects impacting study results. One way to identify these effects is through eFORGE (experimentally derived Functional element Overlap analysis of ReGions from EWAS), a published tool that uses 815 datasets from large-scale mapping studies to detect enriched tissues, cell types, and genomic regions. Here, I show that eFORGE analysis can be extended to EWAS differentially variable positions (DVPs), identifying target cell types and tissues. In addition, I also show that eFORGE tissue-specific enrichment can be detected for sites below EWAS significance threshold. I develop on these and other analysis examples, extending our knowledge of eFORGE cell type- and tissue-specific enrichment results for different EWAS.

    Abstract Here, we report a lack of diversity in epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) and DNA methylation (DNAm) data, discuss current challenges, and propose solutions for EWAS and DNAm research in diverse populations. The strategies we propose include fostering community involvement, new data generation, and cost-effective approaches such as locus-specific analysis and ancestry variable region analysis.

    Abstract Several studies have documented aberrant RNA editing patterns across multiple tumors across large patient cohorts from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). However, studies on understanding the role of RNA editing in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have been limited to smaller sample sizes. Using high throughput transcriptomic data from the TCGA, we demonstrated higher levels of editing as a predictor of poor outcome within the AML patient samples. Moreover, differential editing patterns were observed across individual AML genotypes. We also could demonstrate a negative association between the degree of editing and mRNA abundance for some transcripts, identifying the potential regulatory potential of RNA-editing in altering gene expression in AML. Further edQTL analysis suggests potential

    Abstract The majority of disease-associated variants identified through genome-wide association studies are located outside of protein-coding regions. Prioritizing candidate regulatory variants and gene targets to identify potential biological mechanisms for further functional experiments can be challenging. To address this challenge, we developed FORGEdb ( https://forgedb.cancer.gov/

    https://forge2.altiusinstitute.org/files/forgedb.html

    and https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10067458 ), a standalone and web-based tool that integrates multiple datasets, delivering information on associated regulatory elements, transcription factor binding sites, and target genes for over 37 million variants. FORGEdb scores provide researchers with a quantitative assessment of the relative importance of each variant for targeted functional experiments.

    Abstract Cell type heterogeneity presents a challenge to the interpretation of epigenome data, compounded by the difficulty in generating reliable single-cell DNA methylomes for large numbers of cells and samples. We present EPISCORE, a computational algorithm that performs virtual microdissection of bulk tissue DNA methylation data at single cell-type resolution for any solid tissue. EPISCORE applies a probabilistic epigenetic model of gene regulation to a single-cell RNA-seq tissue atlas to generate a tissue-specific DNA methylation reference matrix, allowing quantification of cell-type proportions and cell-type-specific differential methylation signals in bulk tissue data. We validate EPISCORE in multiple epigenome studies and tissue types.

    Abstract Bulk-tissue DNA methylomes represent an average over many different cell types, hampering our understanding of cell-type-specific contributions to disease development. As single-cell methylomics is not scalable to large cohorts of individuals, cost-effective computational solutions are needed, yet current methods are limited to tissues such as blood. Here we leverage the high-resolution nature of tissue-specific single-cell RNA-sequencing datasets to construct a DNA methylation atlas defined for 13 solid tissue types and 40 cell types. We comprehensively validate this atlas in independent bulk and single-nucleus DNA methylation datasets. We demonstrate that it correctly predicts the cell of origin of diverse cancer types and discovers new prognostic associations in olfactory neuroblastoma and stage 2 melanoma. In brain, the atlas predicts a neuronal origin for schizophrenia, with neuron-specific differential DNA methylation enriched for corresponding genome-wide association study risk loci. In summary, the DNA methylation atlas enables the decomposition of 13 different human tissue types at a high cellular resolution, paving the way for an improved interpretation of epigenetic data.
