Experimental setup. a Nine fresh-frozen (FF) paediatric brain tumour samples (tumours T01-T09) were processed on the Illumina 450K and EPIC array to compare the platforms. Nine formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples paired to the FF samples were analysed on the EPIC array to assess the correlation between FF and FFPE and thereby the suitability of the array in a clinical setting (FFPE samples). Four of the FFPE samples (tumours T01, T06, T08, T09) were restored with both the REPLI-g and Infinium protocol to enable comparison between the methods. b Three FFPE samples (tumours T10-T12), restored with REPLI-g, were analysed with the 450K as well as the EPIC array to compare the platforms for FFPE samples
