Background:

Single-cell bisulfite sequencing (scBS-seq) enables precise DNA methylation analysis at the cellular level.
Challenges in scBS-seq include sparse data and excess zeros/ones, reducing differential methylation detection accuracy.
Existing methods struggle with low sequencing depth and coverage inherent in scBS-seq.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an innovative differential methylation analysis approach for scBS-seq data.
To address the challenges of sparse data and low-input sequencing in scBS-seq.
To enhance the accuracy and sensitivity of identifying differentially methylated regions.

Main Methods:

Proposed a novel beta mixture approach named scDMV.
Developed scDMV to effectively handle excess zeros and ones in scBS-seq data.
Accommodated low-input sequencing data within the analysis framework.

Main Results:

scDMV demonstrated superior performance over alternative methods in simulations and real data applications.
Achieved higher sensitivity and precision in identifying differentially methylated regions, even with low-input samples.
scDMV provided valuable insights for GO enrichment analysis in single-cell whole-genome sequencing data.

Conclusions:

scDMV is an effective method for differential methylation analysis in scBS-seq data.
The approach successfully tackles data sparsity and low-input sequencing limitations.
scDMV enhances the discovery of biologically relevant epigenetic variations.
