# twelvecelldeconvolutebloodepicbas

Reference-based constrained deconvolution returning the basophil proportion from EPIC-array blood methylation. The published EPIC IDOL-Ext library used 1,200 CpGs selected to optimize recovery of known artificial-mixture cell-type proportions; pyaging instead inherits Biolearn’s undocumented 240-CpG replacement, whose rows reproducibly comprise 10 positive and 10 negative maximal cell-versus-other methylation contrasts per subtype and are not a subset of the published 1,200 probes.

Model weights retain the original authors' terms; the pyaging software license does not relicense them.
