    If I delete one sample do I have to redo DNA methylation data preprocessing

    I have DNA methylation data for 532 samples. I did process .idat files for all samples together and got normalized beta values for all samples. One out of 532 samples has missing beta vlaues for 5500 probes. I decided to delete this sample.
    Question: Do I have to redo the data preprocessing? I think converting image data (.idat) to signal strength wouldn't change, but normalization would change with different set of samples, even if there is only one sample difference.

    You didn't say what program you used. That might help people figure out the answer. Also how long does the pre-processing take? If a short time then, sure, re-process.

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

      Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

      New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
      by SEQadmin2


      Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

      We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
