Why use methylCC?

This is a package to estimate the cell composition of whole blood in DNA methylation measured on any platform technology (e.g. Illumina 450K microarray, whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) and reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS)).

For help with the methylCC R-package, there is a vignette available in the /vignettes folder.
