getGRangesFromMethylDiff(
  methDiff,
  pDiff,
  qvalue,
  type = c("all", "hyper", "hypo")
)

Arguments

methDiff

a list of S4 methylDiff class objects, each entry of the list represents the differentially methylated results for one generation (first entry = first genertation, second entry = second generation, etc..). Each methylDiff object holds statistics and locations for differentially methylated regions/bases.

pDiff

a positive double between 0 and 100, the cutoff for absolute value of methylation percentage change between test and control.

qvalue

a positive double inferior to 1, the cutoff for qvalue of differential methylation statistic.

type

One of the "hyper","hypo" or "all" strings, the string specifies what type of differentially methylated bases/tiles should be treated For retrieving hyper-methylated tiles/sites type = "hyper"; for hypo-methylated type = "hypo". Default: "all".

Value

a list of GRanges objects, each entry of the list represents the differentially methylated results for one generation (first entry = first genertation, second entry = second generation, etc..). Each GRanges object holds statistics for differentially methylated regions/bases.
