in umbilical cord tissue DNA from healthy neonates.
Researchers from the University of Southampton, as part of the EpiGen Global Consortium, analysed the levels of DNA methylation

«The BMA believes that preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) should be permitted to select embryos that are most likely to provide a suitable
tissue match for an existing child
in the family who is dying or seriously ill, so that stem cells from the
umbilical cord could be used to treat that sibling.»
