normalize450K
Precise measurements are important for epigenome-wide studies investigating DNA methylation in whole blood samples, where effect sizes are expected to be small in magnitude. The 450K platform is often affected by batch effects and proper preprocessing is recommended. This package provides functions to read and normalize 450K '.idat' files. The normalization corrects for dye bias and biases related to signal intensity and methylation of probes using local regression. No adjustment for probe type bias is performed to avoid the trade-off of precision for accuracy of beta-values.

Tools for quanlity control, analysis and visulization of Illumina DNA methylation array data.
Machine learning-based tools to predict DNA methylation of locus-specific repetitive elements (RE) by learning surrounding genetic and epigenetic information. These tools provide genomewide and single-base resolution of DNA methylation prediction on RE that are difficult to measure using array-based or sequencing-based platforms, which enables epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) and differentially methylated region (DMR) analysis on RE.
"Methylation-Aware Genotype Association in R" (MAGAR) computes methQTL from DNA methylation and genotyping data from matched samples. MAGAR uses a linear modeling stragety to call CpGs/SNPs that are methQTLs. MAGAR accounts for the local correlation structure of CpGs.
This package contains a set of processing and plotting methods for performing copy-number variation (CNV) analysis using Illumina 450k or EPIC methylation arrays.
