Theoretical regression formulas were calculated based on the number of recognition sites in lambda DNA for each of the methyl-sensitive restriction enzymes-AciI: 516, BstUI: 157, HinP1I: 215, HpaII and the isoschizomer MspI: 328, and HpyCH4IV: 143. The Actual regression formulae were calculated based on the regression analysis using the theoretical methylation level as a predictor for the results from CpGlobal.
