MethQTLResult-class: MethQTLResult-class

In MPIIComputationalEpigenetics/MAGAR: MAGAR: R-package to compute methylation Quantitative Trait Loci (methQTL) from DNA methylation and genotyping data

MethQTLResult-class

Description

Class storing methQTL analysis results and the associated genomic annotations

Details

This class stores the results of the methQTL analysis. It stores a data.frame with the methQTL results, and associated genomic annotations for both the methylation sites and SNPs.

Slots

result.frame

The methQTL results as a data.frame

anno.meth

Genomic annotation of the methylation sites as a data.frame.

anno.geno

Genomic annotation of the SNPs as a data.frame.

correlation.blocks

Correlation blocks determined from the methylation matrix.

method

The method used to call methQTL.

rep.type

Method used to determine representative CpGs from correlation blocks.

chr

Optional argument specifying if methQTL were called on a single chromosome.

Methods

getResult

Returns the methQTL results.

getAnno

Returns the genomic annotation.
