Dear all,
I am trying to use the charm package to analyze a Human 2.1M Deluxe
Promoter Array dataset produced using the MeDIP protocol (i.e.
untreated sample on one channel and enriched for methylated DNA from
same sample on the other channel, [unlike the McrBC protocol used to
illustrate the use of charm where the treated sample is enriched for
unmethylated DNA]).
Although the "Human 2.1M Deluxe Promoter Array
(pd.081229.hg18.promoter.medip.hx1)" is being supported by the charm
packge, I did not see anywhere how one specifies the type of protocol
used (MEDIP vs McrBC). It appears to me that the methylation estimate
would just change meaning from (0=unmethylated; 1=methylated) to
(1=unmethylated; 0=methylated) if MeDIP arrays are used instead of
McrBC arrays in chram but any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Adi Tarca
