Figure 4

Differential methylation and unsupervised clustering analysis of HM450 data from neonatal blood, DBS and cell line DNA. Neonatal blood and cell line DNA samples are used as positive controls of good DNA quality for reference comparisons with DNA extracted from DBS. Neonatal blood and DBS are from different individuals. Four DBS DNA samples are shown between four different neonatal blood and four different cell line DNA samples. The DBS samples represent two NCS spots, 37 and 38, each consisting of two tested punches labeled ‘a’ or ‘b’. HM450 beta-values were clustered using Euclidean distance as the dissimilarity index. As shown in the color key, the red and blue signals represent relatively hypomethylated and hypermethylated regions, respectively.
