The sample mixture brings complication in data analysis and results in biased findings if not correctly accounted for. Estimating tumor purity is of great interest, and a number of methods have been developed using gene expression, copy number variation or point mutation data.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: We discover that in cancer samples, the distributions of data from Illumina Infinium 450\u2009k methylation microarray are highly correlated with tumor purities. We develop a simple but effective method to estimate purities from the microarray data. Analyses of the Cancer Genome Atlas lung cancer data demonstrate favorable performance of the proposed method.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Availability and implementation: The method is implemented in InfiniumPurify, which is freely available at https:\/\/bitbucket.org\/zhengxiaoqi\/infiniumpurify.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0xqzheng@shnu.edu.cn or hao.wu@emory.edu<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Supplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btv370","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,26]],"date-time":"2015-06-26T02:45:07Z","timestamp":1435286707000},"page":"3401-3405","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":46,"title":["Predicting tumor purity from methylation microarray data"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Naiqian","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Mathematics, Shanghai Normal University, Shanghai 200234, China,"}]},{"given":"Hua-Jun","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2 Department of Biostatistics and Computational Biology, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard School of Public Health, Boston 02215, MA, USA and"}]},{"given":"Weiwei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Mathematics, Shanghai Normal University, Shanghai 200234, China,"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Mathematics, Shanghai Normal University, Shanghai 200234, China,"}]},{"given":"Hao","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3 Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics, Emory University, Atlanta, GA 30322, USA"}]},{"given":"Xiaoqi","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Mathematics, Shanghai Normal University, Shanghai 200234, China,"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023020202331737800_btv370-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1865","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btt301","article-title":"DeMix: deconvolution for mixed cancer transcriptomes using raw measured data","volume":"29","author":"Ahn","year":"2013","journal-title":"Bioinformatics"},{"key":"2023020202331737800_btv370-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1056","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btt759","article-title":"AbsCN-seq: a statistical method to estimate tumor purity, ploidy and absolute copy numbers from next-generation sequencing data","volume":"30","author":"Bao","year":"2014","journal-title":"Bioinformatics"},{"key":"2023020202331737800_btv370-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"543","DOI":"10.1038\/nature13385","article-title":"Comprehensive molecular profiling of lung adenocarcinoma","volume":"511","author":"Cancer Genome Atlas Research","year":"2014","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"2023020202331737800_btv370-B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"413","DOI":"10.1038\/nbt.2203","article-title":"Absolute quantification of somatic DNA alterations in human cancer","volume":"30","author":"Carter","year":"2012","journal-title":"Nat.
