450k CpG Methylation Microarray NOW AVAILABLE!

This new illumina microarray is capable of analyzing methylation at 450,000 CpG sites in the human genome!!! This is a significant increase from 27,000 sites, the size of their previous 'big' assay. While it will likely be used mostly in cancer research, this could be a very interesting way to characterize methylation diversity across human populations. Do you think we will see more genetic or epigenetic variation?
