BatMeth2: DNA Methylation Data Analysis
BatMeth2 is an easy-to-use, auto-run package for DNA methylation analyses. In order to complete the DNA methylation data analysis more conveniently, we packaged all the functions to complete an easy-to-use, auto-run package for DNA methylation analysis. During the execution of BatMeth2 Tool, an html report is generated about statistics of the sample.
Installation
Please download and install the tools (see Installation)
The functions you can use BatMeth2 to do:
Alignment: Align bsseq data
Calculate DNA methylation level: Calulate DNA methylation level (ML) across whole genome
Calulate mC across predefined regions: Calulate DNA ML profile or heatmap across gene / TE or peak region
Meth2BigWig: Convert ML txt file to BigWig format, used for IGV visulization
DiffMeth: Perform differential analyses with auto defined regions or predefined regions.
PlotMeth: Plot DNA ML profile, heatmap or boxplot across genes/TEs/etc.
Contents
While developing BatMeth2, we continuously strive to create software that fulfills the following criteria:
raw fastq reads quality control and efficiently align bisulfite sequencing data
calculate DNA methylation level based on sorted BAM file for single base or chromosome region and genes.
new methlation mbw format with index can calculate DNA methylation level quickly.
enable customized down-stream analyses, espacially with visulization
generation of highly customizable images (change colours, size, labels, file format, etc.)
