Illumina Methylation Assay
The Illumina Methylation Assay using the Infinium II platform uses "BeadChip" technology to generate a comprehensive genome wide profiling of human DNA methylation. Similar to bisulfite sequencing and pyrosequencing, this method quantifies methylation levels at specific loci within the genome. Although the assay does not encompass the entire human genome, it can measure methylation level at 27,578 CpG dinucloeotides in 14,495 genes.
