Examples

library(MethylSeekR)

# get chromosome lengths
library("BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg18")
sLengths=seqlengths(Hsapiens)

# read methylation data
methFname <- system.file("extdata", "Lister2009_imr90_hg18_chr22.tab",
package="MethylSeekR")
meth.gr <- readMethylome(FileName=methFname, seqLengths=sLengths)

#read SNP data
snpFname <- system.file("extdata", "SNVs_hg18_chr22.tab",
package="MethylSeekR")
snps.gr <- readSNPTable(FileName=snpFname, seqLengths=sLengths)

# remove SNPs
meth.gr <- removeSNPs(meth.gr, snps.gr)

#calculate alpha distribution for one chromosome
plotAlphaDistributionOneChr(m=meth.gr, chr.sel="chr22", num.cores=1)

#segment PMDs
PMDsegments.gr <- segmentPMDs(m=meth.gr, chr.sel="chr22", num.cores=1,
seqLengths=sLengths)

#plot PMD segmentation examples
plotPMDSegmentation(m=meth.gr, segs=PMDsegments.gr, numRegions=1)

#save PMD segments
savePMDSegments(PMDs=PMDsegments.gr, GRangesFilename="PMDs.gr.rds",
 TableFilename="PMDs.tab")

#load CpG islands

CpGislands.gr <- track(query)
genome(CpGislands.gr) <- NA
CpGislands.gr <- resize(CpGislands.gr, 5000, fix="center")

#calculate FDRs

# select FDR cut-off and determine segmentation parameters

#segment UMRs and LMRs

#plot final segmentation including PMDs, UMRs and LMRs
