GitHub - adeschen/methylInheritance: Bioconductor Package - Permutation-Based Analysis associating Conserved Differentially Methylated Elements Across Multiple Generations to a Treatment Effect (original) (raw)

Conserved Differentially Methylated Elements from One Generation to the Next: Inheritance versus Randomness

The methylInheritance package implements a permutation analysis, based on Monte Carlo sampling, for testing the hypothesis that the number of conserved differentially methylated elements, between several generations, is associated to an effect inherited from a treatment and that stochastic effect can be dismissed.
