findPMDs {methylPipe} | R Documentation |
This function is a wrapper function to identify partially methylated domains (PMDs) in Bis-seq data.
## S4 method for signature 'methylPipe,BSdata' findPMDs(Object, Nproc=1, Chrs=NULL)
Object |
An object of class BSdataSet |
Nproc |
numeric; the number of processors to use, one chromosome is ran for each processor |
Chrs |
character; Chromosome on which PMDs are identified |
This functions is a wrapper function of segmentPMDs method of package MethylSeekR. This function trains a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) to detect partially methylated domains (PMDs) in Bis-seq data.
A GRangesList object containing segments that partition the genome into PMDs and regions outside of PMDs. The object contains two metadata columns indicating the type of region (PMD/notPMD) and the number of covered (by at least 5 reads) CpGs (nCG) in the region.
