MethPipe: a computational pipeline for analyzing bisulfite sequencing data

The MethPipe software package is a computational pipeline for analyzing bisulfite sequencing data (WGBS and RRBS).
Update July 2021: MethPipe now accepts SAM input after the read-mapping phase. Our old mr format is no longer supported. For short-read bisulfite mapping, we have a new tool called abismal. Download abismal-0.3.0 here.

Quick start

Tools

Program Description
abismal map bisulfite treated short reads. See the Github repo for more details.
duplicate-remover remove duplicate reads
methcounts calculate methylation level and read coverage at individual sites
bsrate estimate bisulfite conversion rate
hmr identify hypo-methylated regions
hypermr identify hyper-methylation in plants and organisms showing mosaic methylation
pmd identify large partially methylated domains
amrfinder identify allele-specific methylated regions
roimethstat compute methylation level by genomic region of interest
mlml consistently estimate 5-mC and 5-hmC levels. See MLML homepage.
