The

there

DNA methylation data

December 21st, 2011: 27k and 450k arrays are available. Downloaded Level 1 450k data. It seems that they started splitting green and red probes into 2 separate files and they also provide now the Illumina's idat files which are the bead level data (not tab delimited files). I need to find a way to process them, it seems that Bioconductor beadarray package can be used to read these files and do some bead level normalization (summarization too?). The Level2 data contains already summarized and normalized data (tab delimited files with CpG ID, value for methylated and value for unmethylated probes), however it is available only for 91 patients. Also tried to download 27k arrays available for breast cancer, however the data is available for ~26 patients (they stopped running those arrays?).  I guess I need to figure out how to process Level 1 data.
