Hi Tao
The detection-p-value of Illumina methylation is estimated by comparing the
measured CpG site Intensity (methylated probe intensity + unmethylated probe
intensity) with the Intensity distribution of negative control probes.
Because it is measuring the DNA, the majority of CpG sites have very good
detection p-values (as long as the probe design is good and there is no
mutations or SNPs in the probe detecting region, it should have good
p-value.).
BTW, the lumi package will include functions of preprocessing Illumina
Infinium HumanMethylation27 in the coming release of Bioc.
Have a nice day
Pan
