The data archive contains The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) analysis of DNA methylation profilings using the Illumina Golden Gate Methylation Bead Array platform. DNA samples were received, bisulfite converted and the methylation profiling was evaluated using Illumina DNA Methylation Golden Gate technology.

The G-CIMP status data represents identified TCGA samples determined to be either G-CIMP positive or G-CIMP negative as described in Noushmehr et al., (2010) Cancer cell 17(5):510-22. Questions or comments, please contact Dr. Peter W. Laird (plaird@usc.edu), USC Epigenome Center, Los Angeles, CA, USA.
