Genomic DNA from triplicate samples was harvested by first washing the plates with cell lysis solution (0.25% Triton X-100, 20 µg/ml RNase H, 10 mM Tris pH 8.0, 1 mM EDTA). Thereafter, nuclei were washed (200 mM NaCl, 20 µg/ml RNase H, 10 mM Tris pH 8.0, 1mM EDTA), prior to lysis with nuclear lysis buffer (0.5% SDS, 200 mM NaCl, 20 µg/ml RNase H, 10 mM Tris pH 8.0, 1mM EDTA). The nuclear lysate was incubated at 37°C for 1 hour. Proteinase K was added to 100 µg/ml and the samples were incubated overnight at 55°C. On the next day the samples were extracted twice using phenol-chloroform-isoamyl alcohol (PCIA, 25:24:1, pH 8.0, from Sigma) and washed twice with chloroform, prior to ethanol precipitation. The pellet was re-suspended in TE (10 mM Tris pH 8.0, 1 mM EDTA).

Data processing
CpG methylation analysis using Illumina 450K Bead Arrays was performed by Genome Quebec. DNA methylation was measured using the Minfi package in-R (Aryee et al., 2014) with the SWAN normalization method. Probes whose total intensity was less than 5000 were excluded.
