Abstract:
RnBeads is a software tool for large-scale analysis and interpretation of DNA methylation data, providing a user-friendly analysis workflow that yields detailed hypertext reports (http://rnbeads.mpi-inf.mpg.de/). Supported assays include whole-genome bisulfite sequencing, reduced representation bisulfite sequencing, Infinium microarrays and any other protocol that produces high-resolution DNA methylation data. Notable applications of RnBeads include the analysis of epigenome-wide association studies and epigenetic biomarker discovery in cancer cohorts.
