We hope this database will be a useful resource for:

  • Estimation of all main cell-type fractions in a given tissue
  • Detection of differentially methylated cytosines independent of cell-type composition
  • Detection of cell-type specific differential DNAm

Suggested tools to run cell-type deconvolution:

Note: For both tools, the DNAm-atlas reference matrices are pre-installed in the package/web server and can be applied directly.
