BEC DNAm was consistently more variable than PBMC DNAm at the genome-wide and probewise level. a Distribution of reference range in C3ARE, GECKO and GECKOsub, showing significantly great variability in BEC versus PBMC (Wilcoxon p < 2.2 × 10−16 in each cohort). b Scatterplot of PBMC versus BEC reference range in each cohort. c Three examples of CpGs with the greatest reference range difference between tissues. Individuals from the GECKO cohort are shown in red and individuals from C3ARE are shown in blue
