Bisulfite sequencing (BS-seq) technology measures DNA methylation at single nucleotide resolution. A key task in BS-seq data analysis is to identify differentially methylation (DM) under different conditions. Here we provide a tutorial for BS-seq DM analysis using Bioconductor package DSS. DSS uses a beta-binomial model to characterize the sequence counts from BS-seq, and implements rigorous statistical method for hypothesis testing. It provides flexible functionalities for a variety of DM analyses.
亚硫酸氢盐测序(BS-seq)技术能够在单核苷酸分辨率下测量DNA甲基化。BS-seq数据分析中的一项关键任务是识别不同条件下的差异甲基化(DM)情况。在此,我们提供一个使用Bioconductor软件包DSS进行BS-seq DM分析的教程。DSS使用β-二项式模型来表征来自BS-seq的序列计数,并实现了用于假设检验的严格统计方法。它为各种DM分析提供了灵活的功能。
