a Overview of 62 tumour and three control DNA methylation classes included in the sarcoma classifier reference cohort. The methylation classes are colour-coded and grouped according to the WHO scheme. The relation between methylation classes and the WHO defined subtypes is categorised in 4 tiers: equivalent to a WHO entity (category 1); subgroup of a WHO entity (category 2); combining WHO entities (category 3); non-defined by WHO (category 4). b Visualisation of the reference cohort methylation profiles (n = 1,077) using t-distributed stochastic neighbour embedding (t-SNE) dimensionality reduction. Individual samples are colour-coded in the respective class colour (n = 65) as given in (a).
