methylSig v0.5.0
NOTE: This version of methylSig only works for R 3.4.z with Bioconductor 3.6. It may work for earlier paired versions, but I make no guarantees. A feature change in the bsseq Bioconductor package in Bioc >= 3.7 does not allow BSseq-class objects whose GRanges are not points, and this breaks the tiling functionality of methylSig. For Bioc 3.9 we hope to have this issue fixed.
New Features
- Annotations are now done with the
annotatr
Bioconductor package.
User-level Changes
-
methylSig v0.5.0 reuses Bioconductor classes rather than the home-spun classes of earlier versions. This will improve maintainability greatly.
-
The
methylSigReadData()
function now is a wrapper for thebsseq::read.bismark()
function, obviating the need to transform the input data in anyway. The output is aBSseq-class
object. -
As before, filtering for common SNPs (hg19 only), minCount, and maxCount are available. Destranding also remains.
-
The result of any of the tests for differential methylation are now
GRanges-class
objects. -
Built-in example data is now known as sample_data.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a mistake in
methylSig.tfbsEnrichTest()
that mistakenly referred referred to tfbsInfo parameter as tfbs.
Removed Features
- Removed plotting functions for retooling.
