Meningiomas are the most common primary intracranial tumor in humans [16] and in dogs [18, 20]. Unsupervised analyses of DNA methylation or RNA sequencing data from human meningiomas reveal three molecular groups of tumors that are associated with distinct biological drivers, therapeutic vulnerabilities, and clinical outcomes [5, 17]. These consensus molecular groups are concordant with results of integrated clustering analyses of copy number variants (CNVs), DNA methylation profiles, RNA sequencing data, and somatic short variants, which suggest that molecular groups of human meningiomas can be comprised of subgroups [4, 15]. Here we test the hypothesis that comparative understanding of the molecular characteristics of canine meningiomas may shed light on the tractability of these naturally occurring tumors as models for meningiomas in humans [9], knowledge that might be particularly useful given the limitations of genetically engineered mouse models of meningioma [6].Whole genome bisulfide sequencing (WGBS) was performed on 29 canine meningiomas spanning all histological grades, a diversity of intracranial and spinal locations, and 23 breeds of dogs (Supplementary Table 1). Most canine meningiomas had meningothelial or microcystic architecture and were CNS WHO grade 1 (19 of 29 tumors), but
