GenStatM: Generation of differential DNA methylation statistics

Description

Given an Illumina 450k data matrix and a phenotype vector, it will generate statistics of differential DNA methylation using limma, at the gene-level, for all pairwise comparisons of phenotype levels.

Usage

GenStatM(dnaM.m,pheno.v)

Arguments

dnaM.m
The DNA methylation beta valued data matrix with rownames annotated to Illumina 450k probe IDs
pheno.v
The phenotype vector.

Value

top
A list of matrices, from the limma output, ranking genes according to differential methylation between two phenotypes as specified in the contrasts matrix, i.e. top[[i]] will contain the ranking for the i'th contrast.
cont
The contrasts matrix, with columns labeling the contrasts.
avbeta
The beta-valued DNAm data matrix at the gene-level, following the procedure as described in Jiao et al Bioinformatics 2014.
