Description |
▸ eFORGE is the epigenetic equivalent of
FORGE, using EWAS rather than
GWAS data.
▸ eFORGE identifies tissue or cell type-specific signal by analysing a minimum set of 5 differentially methylated positions (DMPs) for overlap with DNase I hypersensitive sites (DHSs) compared to matched background DMPs and provides both graphical and tabulated outputs. ▸ eFORGE can now analyse Illumina 850k EPIC array data, as well as Illumina 450k array data. |
