Expanding Epigenomics to Archived FFPE Tissues: An Evaluation of DNA Repair Methodologies

Abstract

Epigenomic studies using FFPE tissues should now be considered among cancers that have not been fully characterized from an epigenomic standpoint. These findings promote novel epigenome-wide studies focused on cancer etiology, identification of novel biomarkers, and developing targeted therapies.
