PY - 2018 DA - 2018/01/08 TI - The utility of DNA extracted from saliva for genome-wide molecular research platforms JO - BMC Research Notes SP - 8 VL - 11 IS - 1 AB - The study aimed to investigate the suitability of DNA extracted from saliva for high throughput molecular genotyping and DNA methylation platforms by comparing its performance with that of DNA extracted from blood. The genome-wide methylation profile, using the Infinium HumanMethylation450 Beadchip array® (Illumina, San Diego, CA), was measured for 20 DNA samples. Common genetic variation was measured, using the Infinium HumanCore Beadchip® (Illumina, San Diego, CA) for 4 samples (matching samples from 2 people).
