Abstract
BACKGROUND: The advent of array-based genome-wide DNA methylation methods has enabled quantitative measurement of single CpG methylation status at relatively low cost and sample input. Whereas the use of Infinium Human Methylation BeadChips has shown great utility in clinical studies, no equivalent tool is available for rodent animal samples. We examined the feasibility of using the new Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip for studying DNA methylation in mouse.Entities:

Fig. 1Mapping of EPIC probes to mouse and human genomes. a Strategy for mapping EPIC probes to the mouse genome b Alignment results of EPIC probes mapped to mouse and human genomes. MM (−n): Mismatch allowance, UM: Uniquely Mapped, ME: Mapping Efficiency and -l: Seed length
Fig. 2Genomic distribution and annotation of mEPIC probes. a Genomic distribution of mEPIC probes across mouse chromosomes. Bar width illustrates chromosome size. b Barplot illustrating that only few mEPIC probes map per mm10.refSeq gene. 16 ≤ 43: counts number of annotated mm10.refSeq genes with ≥16 and ≤43 mEPIC probes. c Barplot of genomic features (Gene region, CpG context and FANTOM5 enhancers), probe design (type I and II), validated (detection P-value < 0.01) and total mEPIC probes. Rounded rectangles enclose features, which add up to the total number of identified mEPIC probes (#19,420) d Overview of annotations included in the “mEPICmanifest” in Additional file 2.

Fig. 3Experimental validation of mEPIC probes. a Density plots of SWAN-normalized DNA methylation values from all probes (upper panel) or mEPIC probes only (lower panel) passing detection P-value of 0.01. b Scatter density plot of SWAN-normalized mEPIC DNA methylation values comparing biological duplicates of cell types 1, 2 and 3, respectively. c Hierarchical clustering of SWAN-normalized mEPIC probes passing detection P-value of 0.01
Fig. 4Mapping of EPIC probes to commonly used animal models and different mouse strains. Alignment results of EPIC probes mapped to a Commonly used animal models and b mouse strains. The “mEPIC” column contains the number (and percentage) of probes represented in the mEPICmanifest, i.e. overlapping with C57BL/6. Alignment was conducted with default settings: mismatch allowance (−n) = 1 and seed length (−l) = 28) with reporting of Uniquely Mapped hits (UM) and Mapping Efficiency (ME), respectively
