Opis

This volume details features of DNA methylation data, data processing pipelines, quality control measures, data normalization, and to discussions of statistical methods for data analysis, control of confounding and batch effects, and identification of differentially methylated regions. Chapters focus on microarray-based methylation measures and sequence-based measures. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary methodologies and software packages, step-by-step, readily reproducible analysis pipelines, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Epigenome- Wide Association Studies: Methods and Protocols: aims to be a useful practical guide to researches to help further their study in this field.
