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, Adi Tarca
