Details


Name rDNA
Type methylation
Species Homo sapiens
Tissue Normal human fibroblast cultures GM08429 (1-day old donor) and GM08447 (2-day old donor);The WS primary fibroblast cultures (AG03141 and AG00780) and additional normal human fibroblast cultures AG11744 (84-year old donor) and AG05247 (87-year old donor)
