  1. * Percent coverage of CpGs in the whole genome cited from Schumacher et al., 2006, Nucleic Acids Reaserach, 34(2), 528-542, which was based on a representative 100 Kb of genomic DNA derived from the Chromosome 22 COMT region.
  2. The total number of clones on the array was 9311 and the total number of CpGs in the clones on the array was 311052.
