Area of Science:

  • Epigenetics and Genomics
  • Computational Biology
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • DNA methylation (5mC) and hydroxymethylation (5hmC) are key epigenetic modifications regulating gene expression.
  • Challenges in studying 5mC and 5hmC include high costs, data complexity, and limited analytical tools.
  • Hydroxymethylation- and Methylation-Sensitive Tag sequencing (HMST-seq) provides cost-effective, single-base resolution for simultaneous 5mC and 5hmC detection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce HMST-Seq-Analyzer, a comprehensive software tool for simultaneous differential methylation analysis of 5mC and 5hmC data.
  • To provide a robust and user-friendly method for analyzing epigenetic modifications.
  • To facilitate the exploration of epigenetic marks using cost-effective sequencing techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Development of HMST-Seq-Analyzer, a Python-based software tool.
  • Implementation of parallel processing for efficient data handling.
  • Integration of functionalities for detecting Differentially Methylated Regions (DMRs), annotation, visualization, and quality control.

Main Results:

  • HMST-Seq-Analyzer enables simultaneous differential analysis of 5mC and 5hmC data.
  • The tool can identify and annotate DMRs, providing a visual overview of methylation patterns.
  • It performs preliminary quality checks on sequencing data, enhancing data reliability.

Conclusions:

  • HMST-Seq-Analyzer is a versatile tool applicable to HMST-seq, WGBS, and RRBS data.
  • The software addresses the need for accessible and comprehensive analytical solutions for epigenetic studies.
  • It supports efficient and robust analysis of DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation patterns.
