Description

A sample sheet is a CSV with at least the following columns: Sample_Name, Sample_Group, Sentrix_ID, Sentrix_Position Further columns may annotate with other metadata about the samples for other types of analysis not performed by this package.

Arguments

csv_sample_sheet_file

Path to a CSV sample sheet

Details

Sample_Name should be unique. Sample_Group should be either "control" or the name of a case type, which will be used to differentiate the classes when finding differentially methylated CpGs.

paste(Sample_Name, Sentrix_ID, Sentrix_Position, sep = "_") should result in a prefix of the filenames of the corresponding red and green channel IDATs.
