Description: DNA methylation is generally considered to be associated
        with transcriptional silencing. However, comprehensive,
        genome-wide investigation of this relationship requires the
        evaluation of potentially millions of correlation values
        between the methylation of individual genomic loci and
        expression of associated transcripts in a relatively large
        numbers of samples. Methodical makes this process quick and
        easy while keeping a low memory footprint. It also provides a
        novel method for identifying regions where a number of
        methylation sites are consistently strongly associated with
        transcriptional expression. In addition, Methodical enables
        housing DNA methylation data from diverse sources (e.g. WGBS,
        RRBS and methylation arrays) with a common framework, lifting
        over DNA methylation data between different genome builds and
        creating base-resolution plots of the association between DNA
        methylation and transcriptional activity at transcriptional
        start sites.
