MethTargetedNGS (version 1.4.0)

methAvg: Calculate Methylation Average of given methylation matrix

Description

Methylation average of a CpG site is the percentage of unmethylated cytosine or methylated cytosine in a particular CpG site. The methylation average of a particular CpG site was calculated by number of cytosine divided by sum of total number of methylated and unmethylated cytosine at particular CpG site in a group of reads.

average = NC/(NC + NT)

Usage

methAvg(Sample, plot = FALSE)

Arguments

Sample

Matrix from methAlign. Also matrix where columns represents Cytosine of CpG sites and rows represents sequences.

plot

Boolean. TRUE if need a plot after calculation. Default FALSE

Value

Vector containing average methylation of given methylation matrix. Length of the vector represents the number of CpG sites in methylation matrix.
