Newborn umbilical cord blood DNAm was assessed with the Illumina® HumanMethylation450 (450k) or HumanMethylationEPIC (EPIC) BeadChip assay at Illumina or cohort-specific laboratories. Cohorts performed sample processing, quality control and normalization as described in Supplementary methods. We used normalized, untransformed beta values, ranging from 0 (completely unmethylated) to 1 (completely methylated), after trimming extreme outliers (3×interquartile range from the quartile limit). We excluded probes mapped to X/Y chromosomes, polymorphic CpGs (overlapping with known single-nucleotide-polymorphisms [SNPs]),29 (link) control or cross-reactive probes (targeting repetitive sequences/co-hybridizing to alternate sequences).30 (link),31 (link)Function-related information was derived from GeneCards and GWAS Catalog (https://www.genecards.org; https://www.ebi.ac.uk/gwas, accessed August 17th, 2020).

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
