DNA Methylation Data from Patients Prostate Cancer

This dataset, ProstateMethylation_df, is a data frame containing pre-processed beta methylation values collected from two sample types (benign and tumor tissue) of 4 patients diagnosed with prostate cancer. The dataset can be used for analyses of methylation patterns in benign versus tumor tissues in prostate cancer cases.

Usage

data(ProstateMethylation_df)
