Reference-based cell-type fraction estimation algorithms rely on a prior defined reference matrix. We leveraged cell-type specific DNAse Hypersensitive Site (DHS) information from the NIH Epigenomics Roadmap, and used 450k purified blood cell types dataset from Reinius et al (2012) to construct this improved whole blood reference DNA methylation dataset, as described in Teschendorff et al (2017). It contains 333 tsDHS-DMCs of 7 blood cell subtypes(As the fractions of eosinophils are usually small, you could add the estimated fractions of neutrophils and eosinophils togetther as the estimations of granulocytes.):
