Platform: PCR amplification and sequencing of sodium bisulfite modified DNA.
Molecular Target: DNA methylation
Platform Description: Genomic DNA (5 micrograms) from each cell line was treated with sodium bisulfite at 50 degrees C for 17 hr using the CpGenome DNA Modification kit from (Chemicon International, Temecula, CA) according to manufacturer's instructions. The DNA was then re-suspended in 125 microliters of 10-mM Tris with 1 mM EDTA pH 7.4 (KD Medical, Columbia, MD). Nested PCR amplification and sequencing of the DNA were carried out using either converted or unconverted DNA as template for the PCR. Primers were based on the E-cad promoter DNA sequence (GenBank accession no. L34545). Two pairs of primers were used. For the bisulfite-converted DNA, the first pair, which amplified a 413-bp deaminated DNA fragment, consisted GATTTTAGGTTTTAGTGAGTT upstream (sequence position -397 to -377) and E-cad-nest2/4 GGAAACAGCTATGACCATGAA CTCCAAAAACCCATAACTAA downstream (sequence position -6 to +16). The second pair was GTAAAACGACGGCCAGTTATTTAGATTTTAGTAATTTT (upstream, sequence position -319 to -299) and inner primers (with 5' m13 tails) were used to amplify a smaller (335 nucleotide) but higher-quality product. For the unconverted DNA, the same locations of primers were used, with GATCCC AGGTCTTAGTGAGCC, GGAAACAGCTATGACCATGTTCTCCAAGGGCCCATG GCTAA, and GTAAAACGACGGCCAGCCACCTAGACCCTAGCAACTCC. One-strand automated sequencing of the PCR products was performed.
Gene Logic (D Dolginow), SAIC (D Munroe), Johns Hopkins Univ. (A Feinberg); Genomics and Bioinf Gp, LMP, CCR, NCI Raw Data: sequence tracings
Normalization method: Multiple sequence tracings were grouped by bisulfite conversion and sequencing date, calculated as a group mean for each CpG within these groups, and then combined as a mean of these groups.

CCC, OSU (P Blower); Genomics and Bioinf Gp, LMP, CCR, NCI Raw Data: Two channel sample and background intensity measurements.
Normalization method: From the Genepix data, we selected human probes (entries with ID=hsa-[anything]) and median signal intensity minus background for each spot (column labeled 'F635 Median - B635'). After converting any negative values to 1, signal intensities were log2-transformed, and duplicate spots were averaged. Then we performed quantile normalization across the 3 microarray batches, replaced all values less than 5 with the median of such values, and set the value for each control cell line to the mean of its five replicates.
