Hi Rich,
The methods unfortunately wouldn't be suitable for Infinium arrays.
The tools in this paper were developed using data from Roche
(Nimblegen) microarrays and the McrBC restriction enzyme. Since the
Illumina Infinium array is based on a completely different assay
involving Bisulfite conversion, the methods wouldn't be applicable.
Best,
Martin.
