 <h2>Description</h2>
 <p>
 This container is comprised of various DNA Methylation tracks from different sources.
 Click on the specific subtracks for detailed descriptions of the data.</p>
 <p>
 The two tracks available are:
 </p>
 
 <ul>
   <li><b>Human Methylation Atlas Summary (hg38/hg19)</b> - Contains cell-type-specific marker regions
   identified from the atlas, including uniquely unmethylated loci and putative enhancer
   regions annotated with regulatory features.</li>
   <li><b>Human Methylation Atlas Signals (hg38/hg19)</b> - Contains per-cell-type methylation signal
   tracks (bigWig format) showing methylation beta values (0-1 scale) across the genome,
   with merged tracks for each cell type and individual sample replicates.</li>
 </ul>
