Infinium I and II assays allow for broader coverage of CpG sites

Illumina methylation BeadChips employ both Infinium I and Infinium II assays, enhancing the overall breadth of coverage. (A) Infinium I probe designs use 2 bead types per CpG locus, 1 each for the methylated and unmethylated states. (B) Infinium II probe designs use 1 bead type for both states.

Design and manufacturing process

Researchers work with Illumina technical design and customer service teams to refine the BeadChip marker content and coordinate the ordering and production process.

FAQs

 The Infinium HTS iSelect Custom BeadChip includes the standard SNP controls available on the Methylation EPIC BeadChip.

The GenomeStudio Methylation Module extracts beta values and provides sample clustering analysis for Infinium HTS iSelect Methyl Custom BeadChip data. The BeadArray Controls Reporter software tool is not supported at this time.

Notably, there are many freeware applications in Bioconductor, such as SeSAMe, that provide enhanced normalization and visualization options. Illumina does not support these freeware solutions directly.

No, Illumina LIMS does not support Infinium HTS iSelect Methyl Custom BeadChips at this time.

No, FFPE samples are not currently supported.

The Zymo Research EZ-96 Methylation-Lightning MagPrep Kit in manual and automated formats is supported for use upstream to Infinium Methylation assays. Review results in this technical note for more details.
