Abstract

We report a new class of artifacts in DNA methylation measurements from Illumina HumanMethylation450 and MethylationEPIC arrays. These artifacts reflect failed hybridization to target DNA, often due to germline or somatic deletions and manifest as incorrectly reported intermediate methylation. The artifacts often survive existing preprocessing pipelines, masquerade as epigenetic alterations and can confound discoveries in epigenome-wide association studies and studies of methylation-quantitative trait loci. We implement a solution, P-value with out-of-band (OOB) array hybridization (pOOBAH), in the R package SeSAMe. Our method effectively masks deleted and hyperpolymorphic regions, reducing or eliminating spurious reports of epigenetic silencing at oft-deleted tumor suppressor genes such as CDKN2A and RB1 in cases with somatic deletions. Furthermore, our method substantially decreases technical variation whilst retaining biological variation, both within and across HM450 and EPIC platform measurements. SeSAMe provides a light-weight, modular DNA methylation data analysis suite, with a performant implementation suitable for efficient analysis of thousands of samples.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
