The Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 Beadchips have been widely utilized in epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS). However, the existing two types of probes (type I and type II), with the distribution of measurements of probes and dynamic range different, may bias downstream analyses. Here, we propose a method, MGMIN (<i>M</i>-values Gaussian-MIxture Normalization), to correct the probe designs based on <i>M</i>-values of DNA methylation. Our strategy includes fitting Gaussian mixture d ...[more]
