Description

This reference is a subset of centDHSbloodDMC.m, and contains 188 DMCs which exhibit similar median DNAm values across epithelial cells, fibroblasts and ICs to ensure that the estimation of IC subtype fractions is not confounded by the epithelial and fibroblast cells in the sample. It should be used in the hepidish function to estimate fractions of immunce cell subtypes.
