Illumina 450k data on sorted cord blood cell populations

Description

This RGChannelSet contains Illumina 450k measurements on 17 cord blood samples, each of which contribute between 4 and 7 sorted cell populations. These 7 cell populations are: B cells, CD4 T cells, CD8 T cells, granulocytes, monocytes, natural killer cells, and nucleated red blood cells.

Usage

data(FlowSorted.CordBlood.450k)

Details

Please see manuscript for additional details on cord blood samples and prediction pipeline.

Value

An RGChannelSet.

Cell composition association table

Description

Association of probes on the 450k with cord blood cell composition. Please see manuscript for probe filtering criteria.

Usage

data(FlowSorted.CordBlood.450k.compTable)

Format

A data frame with 429794 observations on the following 12 variables.

Fstat

f-statistic for composition from ANOVA. See estimateCellCounts in minfi.

p.value

p-value corresponding to f-statistic.

Bcell

mean methylation level across 15 B cell replicates.

CD4T

mean methylation level across 15 CD4 T-cell replicates.

CD8T

mean methylation level across 14 CD8 T-cell replicates.

Gran

mean methylation level across 12 granulocyte replicates.

Mono

mean methylation level across 15 monocyte replicates.

NK

mean methylation level across 14 natural killer cell replicates.

nRBC

mean methylation level across 4 nucleated red blood cell replicates.

low

low value of methylation across all samples.

high

high value of methylation across all samples.

range

range of methylation values across all samples.

Details

Our recommedations for this object parallel those given in the (adult) blood companion package, FlowSorted.Blood.450k. Briefly, this object can be used to evaluate the potetial for cofounding by cell-type heterogeneity at 450k probes following an associaton study.

Value

A data frame with 429794 observations and 12 variables.

Model parameters for cord blood cell type estimation

Description

This object is generated during the course of cord blood cell proportion estimation in the minfi estimateCellCounts function.

Usage

data(FlowSorted.CordBlood.450k.ModelPars)

Details

A matrix of 700 rows and 7 columns, the latter corresponding to 7 cell types. 100 probes were selected as being differentially methylated by each cell type from the reference RGset contained herein (FlowSorted.CordBlood.450k). In the implementation of the estimateCellCounts function, probes are selected based on a combined RGset of user and reference data. Please see manuscript for details on the probe selection process.

Value

A matrix with 700 rows and 7 columns.
