Analyzing WGBS with the bsseq package
نویسنده
چکیده
This document discusses the ins and outs of an analysis of a whole-genome shotgun bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) dataset, using the BSmooth algorithm, which was first used in [1] and more formally presented and evaluated in [2]. The intention with the document is to focus on analysis-related tasks and questions. Basic usage of the bsseq package is covered in “The bsseq user’s guide”. It may be useful to consult the user’s guide while reading this analysis guide.

Detection of differentially methylated regions from whole-genome bisulfite sequencing data without replicates
DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification involved in many biological processes and diseases. Recent developments in whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) technology have enabled genome-wide measurements of DNA methylation at single base pair resolution. Many experiments have been conducted to compare DNA methylation profiles under different biological contexts, with the goal o...
متن کاملSPlinted Ligation Adapter Tagging (SPLAT), a novel library preparation method for whole genome bisulphite sequencing
Sodium bisulphite treatment of DNA combined with next generation sequencing (NGS) is a powerful combination for the interrogation of genome-wide DNA methylation profiles. Library preparation for whole genome bisulphite sequencing (WGBS) is challenging due to side effects of the bisulphite treatment, which leads to extensive DNA damage. Recently, a new generation of methods for bisulphite sequen...
متن کاملWALT: fast and accurate read mapping for bisulfite sequencing
Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) has emerged as the gold-standard technique in genome-scale studies of DNA methylation. Mapping reads from WGBS requires unique considerations that make the process more time-consuming than in other sequencing applications. Typical WGBS data sets contain several hundred million reads, adding to this analysis challenge. We present the WALT tool for mapping...
متن کاملA comparison of existing global DNA methylation assays to low-coverage whole-genome bisulfite sequencing for epidemiological studies
DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark at the interface of genetic and environmental factors relevant to human disease. Quantitative assessments of global DNA methylation levels have therefore become important tools in epidemiology research, particularly for understanding effects of environmental exposures in complex diseases. Among the available methods of quantitative DNA methylation measureme...
