Dear all,
I was using dmrFinder in a case with one sample per group and noticed
that it fails due to a call to the function rowMedians which requires
a matrix but it gets a vector when grp1 or grp2 is made of one sample:
"mat = cbind(rowMedians(l[,grp1]), rowMedians(l[,grp2]))"
I realize that more samples per group would be a better case to be in
but, given the function dmrFinder is prepared it seems for situations
with one sample per group with a message like " grp1 has only 1
array!", it should still run without an error and give at least the
difference in methylation scores per region.
Moreover, I was wondering if anyone used charm with data generated
from the MEDIP protocol (instead of McrBC), when the treated channel
is methyl-enriched (instead of methyl-depleted).
My take on this is that just switching (ut = "_532.xys", md =
"_635.xys") which is default in readCharm with (ut = "_635.xys", md =
"_532.xys") would keep the meaning of the methylation scores intact
and hence nothing else needs to change in the analysis, but I would be
interested in the experience of other bioconductors with this issue.
Thanks,
