jDMRgrid

Description

jDMRgrid is a tool for conducting efficient and heuristic DMR (Differentially Methylated Region) calling in population-level or control/treatment WGBS data. Its functionality relies on a grid-based methodology that involves dividing the genome into sliding windows or bins of customizable sizes. For each sample and sliding window methylation state calls are obtained via a Hidden Markov Model (HMM). These calls are then consolidated into a DMR matrix format.
