nonspecific_probes {ABC.RAP}

450k DNA methylation non specific probes

Description

data frame of the non specific probes that need to be filtered out from 450k array datasets

Usage

data("nonspecific_probes")

Format

A data frame

Details

These non specific probes interrogates SNPs with mean allelic frequency (MAF) > 0.1, and also those that don't align uniquely on the genome. The list of nonspecific probes was obtained from Chen et al (2013) supplementary files
