filter_data {ABC.RAP}

Filtering DNA methylation 450k non_specific probes

Description

This function filters the reported nonspecific probes, and also filters probes that interrogate SNPs of minor allele frequency (MAF) > 0.1. A list of nonspecific probes was obtained from Chen et al (2013) supplementary files.

Usage

filter_data(x)

Arguments

x

The normalised beta values in a data matrix format, where conditions are arranged in columns and cg probes are arranged in rows.
