Bernhard Radlwimmer and colleagues report whole-genome bisulfite sequencing of 13 Burkitt lymphomas and nine follicular lymphomas. They find that both types of germinal center B cell lymphomas show global hypomethylation compared to normal germinal center B cell precursors and identify regions of differential methylation that correlate with somatic mutations and differential gene expression.
