Figure 1

Multidimensional scaling plots for batch230, batch250 and the pooled dataset. Visualisation of the similarity of the normalized methylation samples based on top 1000 most variable probes among all samples in Batch230, Batch250 and the pooled dataset. Label "C" refers to Control samples (coloured in green), Label "T" refers to Tumour samples (coloured in orange). The expected was to see control and tumour samples discretely. When looked at the plots, there is one tumour sample (T1) for Batch230 and one tumour sample (T13) for Batch250 which are observed closer to the control groups. When looked at the pooled data, although two tumour samples (T13 and T1) are seen as nested with control samples, there is more discrete difference observed between Tumour and Control samples.
