  Background: DNA methylation plays pivotal roles in gene regulation during tumor initiation and progression, and many cancer epigenetic studies have been devoted to identifying differentially methylated regions (DMR) between tumor and its adjacent normal tissues.However, tumor impurity has been a major technical issue in tumor profiling studies, because tumor tissues often contain unknown fractions of normal cells themselves, which could bias the methylation level estimate and DMR calling.
