Critical evaluation of linear regression models for cell-subtype specific methylation signal from mixed blood cell DNA.
Epigenome-wide association studies seek to identify DNA methylation sites associated with clinical outcomes. Difference in observed methylation between specific cell-subtypes is often of interest; however, available samples often comprise a mixture of cells. To date, cell-subtype estimates have been...
