Erratum:

11/28: Histone Methylation and Metabolism -- Safiye; Wang

This (not yet peer reviewed) paper describes a new computational analysis integrating DNA methylation and gene expression data from The Cancer Genome Atlas to predict both overall and locus-specific DNA methylation levels based on the expression of key metabolic genes:

A somewhat related paper (more experimental than computational) could be an interesting read - it relates metabolic perturbation and histone methylation:
