() The methylation levels detected by the oligonucleotide microarray were compared with those derived from bisulfite sequencing. The methylation levels by bisulfite sequencing was determined by dividing the total number of methylated CpG sites analyzed by the number of CpG sites at that locus and multiplying by 100, whereas the percentage of methylation levels analyzed by microarray analysis was determined by the use of standard curves derived from the aforementioned calibration controls as shown in . The average signal intensity was taken from two spots on four slides proceeded in parallel. The error bars indicate SD
