How to normalized the different cancers of Level 3 TCGA data of DNA Methylation

Hi, I just found different tumor-specific working groups may do the job differently. So although the level 3 data of each cancer on DNA methylation (450K) has been normalized, if I want to put the different types of cancer together, I still need to normalized again. My question is how to deal with these beta values?

methylation

Anybody knows how to normalize the beta distributed data. Thanks

Thanks so much. It is useful

Actually, you can use quantile normalization to deal with this problem.

library("preprocessCore")
normalize.quantiles(datamatrix,copy=TRUE)
