What problem does it solve?
This Skill addresses the complexity of processing and analyzing DNA methylation data, providing a structured approach to handle array-based and sequencing-based methylation studies while avoiding common statistical pitfalls.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Pipeline Orchestration: Provides standardized workflows for IDAT processing, normalization, and differential methylation analysis.
- Advanced Analytics: Includes modules for epigenetic clock calculation, cell type deconvolution, and epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS).
- Use Case: A researcher can use this Skill to perform differential methylation analysis on EPIC array data, adjusting for cell type composition and batch effects to identify biologically relevant DMRs.
Quick Start
Use the dna-methylation skill to perform differential methylation analysis on your normalized beta matrix and generate a report of significant DMPs and DMRs.
