MethylSig 0.99.4 – Whole Genome DNA Methylation Analysis Pipline

MethylSig 0.99.4

:: DESCRIPTION

MethylSig is our new R package for analyzing whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (bis-seq), reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS), or enhanced RRBS experiments. Methylsig tests for differentially methylated sites (DMCs) or regions (DMRs) using a beta-binomial model to account for the coverage and variation among samples at each CpG site or region, and has a well-calibrated Type 1 error rate. Several options exist for either site-specific or sliding window tests, combining strands, filtering sites, and for local variance estimation. In addition, methylSig offers numerous functions for annotating and visualizing results, and testing for enrichment of overlap with the binding sites of transcription factors.

BSMAP 2.90 – Whole Genome Bisulfite Sequence MAPping program

BSMAP 2.90

:: DESCRIPTION

BSMAP(Bisulfite Sequence Mapping Program)is a short reads mapping software for bisulfite sequencing reads. Bisulfite treatment converts unmethylated Cytosines into Uracils (sequenced as Thymine) and leave methylated Cytosines unchanged, hence provides a way to study DNA cytosine methylation at single nucleotide resolution. BSMAP aligns the Ts in the reads to both Cs and Ts in the reference.

UnderlyingApproach – Alignment-Free Phylogeny of Whole Genomes using Underlying Subwords

UnderlyingApproach

:: DESCRIPTION

The Underlying Approach (UA) builds a scoring function based on this set of patterns, called underlying. This set is by construction linear in the size of input, without overlaps, and can be efficiently constructed. Results show the validity of our method in the reconstruction of phylogenetic trees, where the Underlying Approach outperforms the current state of the art methods. Moreover, the accuracy of UA is achieved with a very small number of subwords, which in some cases carry meaningful biological information.
