: Researchers use this ID in R packages like minfi or ChAMP to track epigenetic changes.
: It is used to measure DNA methylation levels at that precise location.
: These probes are often mapped to specific genes or promoter regions to study gene regulation.
: This ID points to a specific CpG site (cytosine-guanine dinucleotide) in the human genome.
The identifier typically refers to a specific genetic feature or probe ID used in bioinformatics, specifically within the Illumina MethylationEPIC (850k) array platform . 🧬 Feature Details
💡 : This is a technical address for a "dimmer switch" on a gene, used to study how environments or diseases turn genes on or off.
: The exact genomic coordinates (e.g., Chromosome and Position) depend on the genome build used (typically hg19 or hg38 ).
: Primarily found in datasets processed using the Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip . 🔍 Technical Context
