The Infinium Methylation EPIC v2.0 BeadChip Kit leverages powerful Infinium chemistry to detect cytosine methylation at CpG islands based on highly multiplexed genotyping of bisulfite-converted genomic DNA. Learn more about quantitative array-based methylation measurement.
This kit uses the Illumina Methylation Assay, a microarray technology that provides quantitative methylation measurement at the single-CpG-site level, powering research that examines the biological role of DNA methylation in normal and diseased cells. Learn more about the Illumina Methylation Assay.
The Infinium MethylationEPIC v2.0 BeadChip Kit contains 186K new probes that target known enhancers, super-enhancers, CTCF-binding sites, and open regions of chromatin associated with primary tumors identified by ATAC-Seq and ChIP-seq experiments. Learn about additional improvements in the Infinium MethylationEPIC v2.0 data sheet.
The GenomeStudio Methylation Module extracts beta values and provides clustering and normalization for Infinium MethylationEPIC array data. In addition, there are many freeware applications in Bioconductor, such as chAMP and SeSAMe, that provide enhanced normalization and visualization options. Illumina does not provide technical support for these freeware solutions directly. See more methylation array data analysis tips.
The Zymo EZ DNA Methylation Lightning Kit is the recommended bisulfite conversion kit for the Infinium workflow. Third party bisulfite conversion kits must be purchased separately. Learn more about validated bisulfite conversion kits for Infinium Methylation BeadChips.
The output file is an average of ~2.75 Gb with JPEG files, which is the default setting.
The scan takes ~18–37 minutes per BeadChip.
Yes, the Infinium MethylationEPIC v1.0 and HumanMethylation450 BeadChip kits have been discontinued. The Infinium MethylationEPIC v2.0 Kit, built upon the same reliable Infinium chemistry foundation, offers enhanced, expert-selected content and is the recommended replacement for both kits.
