The significant CpG loci detected in the previous step actually form a methylation signature , which we shall now visualise by that differentiates between LCLs and B cells. We can build and visualize this methylation signature using clustering and a heat map. Start by selecting the shPOU5F1_vsPrimed

Section headings should use level 2 heading, while the content of the section should use paragraph (which is the default). You can choose the style in the first dropdown in toolbar.

The experimental groups are rows, while the CpG loci from the LCLs vs B cells spreadsheet are columns. Methylation levels are compared between the LCLs and B cells groups. CpG loci with higher methylation are colored red, CpG loci with lower methylation are colored green. LCLs samples are colored orange and B cells samples are colored red in the dendrogram on the the left-hand side of the heat map.
