SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling from per-CpG calls to reveal global patterns across samples and conditions in a reproducible workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Compute methylation density distributions across the genome.
  • Analyze genomic feature distribution of methylation (promoters, gene bodies, introns, etc.) for each sample.
  • Perform unsupervised clustering and PCA to compare samples and identify patterns or batch effects.

Quick Start

Process one or more input methylation BED files to generate density plots, genomic-feature distributions, and PCA-based sample clustering.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze genome-wide CpG methylation patterns from WGBS data?

To analyze genome-wide CpG methylation patterns from WGBS data, you can process per-CpG BED files to generate density distributions, genomic-feature annotations, and sample-level clustering. It interactively prompts for genome assembly and methylation column definitions.

How do I compare methylation profiles across multiple samples?

You can compare methylation profiles across multiple samples using unsupervised clustering and PCA. This workflow processes multiple input BED files to identify global methylation patterns, potential batch effects, and sample-level relationships.

Can I use this workflow for single-sample methylation analysis?

Yes, this workflow supports both single-sample and multi-sample methylation analysis. For a single sample, it processes the input BED file to compute methylation density distributions and genomic feature distributions without requiring multi-sample clustering.

What do I need to start profiling DNA methylation patterns?

To start profiling DNA methylation patterns, you need a user-provided sample BED file containing per-CpG methylation calls. The workflow then interactively prompts you to specify the genome assembly and define methylation and coverage columns.

Does genome-wide methylation profiling require specific R packages?

Genome-wide methylation profiling in this workflow uses R-based scripts to process data and generate outputs. It avoids MCP tools entirely and produces a structured directory containing statistics, plots, and logs from the R analysis.

How does genomic feature annotation work for CpG methylation?

Genomic feature annotation for CpG methylation categorizes methylation calls by genomic regions such as promoters, gene bodies, and introns. The workflow generates distribution plots showing methylation levels across these features for each input sample.
