CMEnt

This is the development version of CMEnt; to use it, please install the devel version of Bioconductor.

Characterization of Methylation using positional ENTanglement


Bioconductor version: Development (3.24)

CMEnt implements a correlation-based method for identifying Differentially Methylated Regions (DMRs) from genomic seeds, commonly Differentially Methylated Positions (DMPs). The package expands regions around significant seeds considering both statistical significance and biological relevance of methylation changes. It supports array-based (450K, EPIC, EPICv2) and NGS methylation data through tabix-indexed files, provides DMR interaction analysis via motif similarity, and includes comprehensive visualization tools including circos plots and beta value heatmaps.
