A genome-wide analysis of methylated DNA from human embryonic stem cells and adult tissues provides a comprehensive view of unmethylated regions and leads to the identification of sequence motifs that can predict whether a region escapes de novo methylation. This algorithm is used to identify novel, non-CpG unmethylated regions, including intragenic and tissue-specific ones.
