A heatmap representing the result of clustering of cancer-specific CGI methylation in gastric cancer based on TCGA Illumina 450K array data. Note the existence of two different clusters with high levels of GI methylation: MSI-associated (MSI-CIMP) and EBV-associated (EBV-CIMP). The heatmap was generated based on unsupervised clustering (COMMUNAL R package) of CpG probes located in the proximity (±500 bp) of transcription start sites (TSS) that displayed high cancer-specific methylation [79]. The extraction of CGI methylation, together with CIMP assignments, were described previously in our work [80].
