"overlap" = align whole strings without end gap penalties,

"global-local" = align whole strings in pattern with consecutive subsequence of subject,

"local-global" = align consecutive subsequence of pattern with whole strings in subject.

Default is "local"

Calculate Methylation Average of given methylation matrix

Description

Methylation average of a CpG site is the percentage of unmethylated cytosine or methylated cytosine in a particular CpG site. The methylation average of a particular CpG site was calculated by number of cytosine divided by sum of total number of methylated and unmethylated cytosine at particular CpG site in a group of reads.

average = NC/(NC + NT)

Usage

methAvg(Sample, plot = FALSE)

Arguments

Sample

Matrix from methAlign. Also matrix where columns represents Cytosine of CpG sites and rows represents sequences.

plot

Boolean. TRUE if need a plot after calculation. Default FALSE

Value

Vector containing average methylation of given methylation matrix. Length of the vector represents the number of CpG sites in methylation matrix.

Calculate Methylation Entropy

Description

Entropy comparison between healthy and tumor samples can identify significant CpG sites which are contributing most in the tumor development either by hypomethylation or hypermethylation. Also such way can help in understanding the randomness in methylation status. Sliding window of 4 was used to calculate the entropy in the sample, which can analyze 16 different pattern for entropy calculation.

x

Matrix from methAlign. Also matrix where columns represents Cytosine of CpG sites and rows represents sequences

Value

Matrix containing entropy for every sequence and group of 4 cpg sites.
