A Novel Cell-Type Deconvolution Algorithm Reveals Substantial Contamination by Immune Cells in Saliva, Buccal and Cervix
25 Apr 2018
Abstract excerpt
AIM: An outstanding challenge in epigenome studies is the estimation of cell-type proportions in complex epithelial tissues. MATERIALS & METHODS: Here, we construct and validate a DNA methylation reference and algorithm for complex tissues that contain epithelial, immune and nonimmune stromal cells. RESULTS: Using this reference, we show that easily accessible tissues such as saliva, buccal and cervix exhibit...
