Genome Methylation in Wild Beluga Whales

An Infinium microarray platform (GPL28271, HorvathMammalMethylChip40) was used to generate DNA methylation data from skin samples of beluga whales, Maui's dolphin, and humpback whale. Tissue: Skin N=143 skin samples. Mainly from beluga but also Maui dolphin and 1 humpback whale. Profiled on the mammalian methylation array platform (GPL28271). The characteristic variable CanBeUsedForAgingStudies.

本研究使用Infinium微阵列平台（Infinium microarray platform，GPL28271，HorvathMammalMethylChip40），从白鲸、毛伊海豚与座头鲸的皮肤样本中生成DNA甲基化数据。本次研究的样本类型为皮肤组织，共纳入143份皮肤样本，其中以白鲸样本为主，同时包含毛伊海豚样本及1份座头鲸样本。所有样本均通过哺乳动物甲基化阵列平台（GPL28271）完成分型检测。该数据集包含特征变量CanBeUsedForAgingStudies。
