Methyl450 means Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip Array and Methyl27 means Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation27 BeadChip Array. N probes mean the number of the probes after filtering and preprocessing. The result data means the number of loci correlated at methylation sites and position FDR q-value <0.05 in different datasets.

We used ANOVA analysis to calculate the p-values of correlation between methylation levels and position or batch. FDR q-value was computed for each nominal p-value by controlling the FDR at 0.05 using the R function 'qvalue'. We then obtained the number of CpGs significantly associated with positions and batches.

False discovery rate q-value <0.05.

Table cells are notable due to the corrected order.
