scbs 0.5.3 - DMR detection and overhauled matrix generation
This release comes with multiple new features and improvements:
- The new command
scbs diff
allows you to scan the whole genome for differentially methylated regions (DMRs) between two user-defined groups of cells. This works by sliding a window across the genome, performing a t-test for each window, and merging windows above a threshold. To control the false discovery rate, the same procedure is repeated on permutations of the data which are then used to calculate an adjusted p-value for each DMR. scbs matrix
now reports the methylation matrix in a more convenient format (wide matrices instead of a huge long table).scbs matrix
can now use multiple threads, which means it runs much faster when quantifying a large number of genomic intervals.scbs prepare
now supports biscuit .BED files as input.
