<h4>Background</h4>Epigenome-wide association studies are emerging in the field of cancer epidemiology with the rapid development of large-scale methylation array platforms. Until recently, these methods were only valid for DNA from flash frozen (FF) tissues. Novel techniques for repairing DNA from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues have emerged; however, a direct comparison of FFPE DNA repair methods before analysis on genome-wide methylation array to matched FF tissues has not bee ...[more]
