ramr is an R package for detection of epimutations (i.e., infrequent aberrant DNA methylation events) in large data sets obtained by methylation profiling using array or high-throughput methylation sequencing. In addition, package provides functions to visualize found aberrantly methylated regions (AMRs), to generate sets of all possible regions to be used as reference sets for enrichment analysis, and to generate biologically relevant test data sets for performance evaluation of AMR/DMR search algorithms.

SingleMoleculeFootprinting provides functions to analyze Single Molecule Footprinting (SMF) data. Following the workflow exemplified in its vignette, the user will be able to perform basic data analysis of SMF data with minimal coding effort. Starting from an aligned bam file, we show how to perform quality controls over sequencing libraries, extract methylation information at the single molecule level accounting for the two possible kind of SMF experiments (single enzyme or double enzyme), classify single molecules based on their patterns of molecular occupancy, plot SMF information at a given genomic location.

methylKit is an R package for DNA methylation analysis and annotation from high-throughput bisulfite sequencing. The package is designed to deal with sequencing data from RRBS and its variants, but also target-capture methods and whole genome bisulfite sequencing. It also has functions to analyze base-pair resolution 5hmC data from experimental protocols such as oxBS-Seq and TAB-Seq. Methylation calling can be performed directly from Bismark aligned BAM files.

A tool to estimate the cell composition of DNA methylation whole blood sample measured on any platform technology (microarray and sequencing).

A test harness for bsseq loading of Biscuit output, summarization of WGBS data over defined regions and in mappable samples, with or without imputation, dropping of mostly-NA rows, age estimates, etc.

COCOA is a method for understanding epigenetic variation among samples. COCOA can be used with epigenetic data that includes genomic coordinates and an epigenetic signal, such as DNA methylation and chromatin accessibility data. To describe the method on a high level, COCOA quantifies inter-sample variation with either a supervised or unsupervised technique then uses a database of "region sets" to annotate the variation among samples. A region set is a set of genomic regions that share a biological annotation, for instance transcription factor (TF) binding regions, histone modification regions, or open chromatin regions. COCOA can identify region sets that are associated with epigenetic variation between samples and increase understanding of variation in your data.
