A Non-Invasive Method for Whole Genome Skin Methylome Profiling via Pubmed

Background: Both aging, disease and malignant transformation of the skin are associated with changes in DNA methylation.

So far mostly invasive methodologies such as biopsies have been applied towards collecting DNA methylation signatures.

Tape-stripping offers a non-invasive option for skin diagnostics.
