description: Annotation in this record based on NCBI human build 36. The supplementary files are based on HG18.
  Genomic regions of methylation, Iso-thermal (Tm=76) tiling design for ~30k regions from UCSC HG18 at a 82bp interval. Design includes random GC probes.  Additional control probes from non-human sequences provided by customer were tiled at a 10bp interval and included in a separate container. Our microarray consists of 385,574 50-bp probes. the array contained 50-bp probes tiled at ∼100 bp density across the entire human Major Histocompatibility Complex, and promoters and nonpromoter CpG islands on the whole genome. The array was originally designed using the NCBI build 36 version of the human genome assembly.
