  1. Correlation results of log2 of expression of the most strongly correlated transcript with gene region methylation and with log(IC50) are provided for those genes that had matching transcript data in the Affymetrix GeneChip®Human Exon 1.0 ST Array. Number of probes in gene region provides the number of probes annotated by the Illumina Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip manifest annotation [18] according to the UCSC genome browser as belonging to a particular gene region; methylation beta-values of all such probes were combined to compute the average region methylation value. pFDR p value adjusted for false discovery rate, accounting for all 412 drug agents with variable drug response and 108,795 gene regions
