Background:

DNA CpG methylation (CpGm) is a key epigenetic regulator in mammals.
Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) is essential for assessing CpGm.
Current WGBS analysis is computationally intensive, posing a bottleneck for large datasets.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a computationally efficient method for quantifying DNA CpG methylation.
To enable faster analysis of WGBS data without compromising accuracy.

Main Methods:

Introducing FAst MEthylation calling (FAME), a novel bioinformatics approach.
Direct quantification of CpGm values from WGBS reads, bypassing intermediate files.
Validation using bulk and single-cell bisulfite sequencing datasets.

Main Results:

FAME achieves high accuracy comparable to standard methods.
FAME significantly accelerates data analysis for WGBS datasets.
The method effectively addresses the computational demands of large-scale epigenetic studies.

Conclusions:

FAME offers a rapid and accurate solution for CpGm quantification from WGBS data.
This approach alleviates the computational burden, facilitating large-scale epigenetic research.
FAME is an open-source tool available for broader scientific use.
