The growing body of public DNA methylation datasets for a variety of cancer types provides data to enable discovery of novel clinical biomarkers for both early detection of tumours and monitoring of minimal residual disease. DNA methylation can be modified by environmental exposures and is associated with a wide range of diseases including developmental pathologies and cancer, where methylation changes are particularly pronounced.
