Introduction to the missMethyl package

Description

missMethyl is a library for the analysis of Illumina's 450K human methylation BeadChip. Specifically, functions for SWAN normalisation and differential variability analysis are provided. SWAN normalisation uses probe specific information, and the differential variability procedure uses linear models which can handle any designed experiment.

Details

Package:	missMethyl
Type:	Package
Version:	0.99.0
Date:	2014-06-30
License:	GPL-2

Normalisation of the 450K arrays can be performed using the function SWAN.

Differential variability analysis can be performed by calling varFit followed by topVar for a list of the top ranked differentially variable CpGs between conditions.

More detailed help documentation is provided in each function's help page.
