Hi , I am interested to use EpiDISH analysis for the tissue of origin. It seems input data should have cpG region. Unfortunately, I have genomic regions, and the data looks like the following. How could I use EpiDISH on this data set.

What was the technique used to obtain this dataset ? And from which tissue ? If you only have genomic coordinates and not CpG, EpiDISH may not be the best approach and you may consider other deconvolution tools

Hi Bony,

EpiDISH needs CpG methylation beta value to estimate the cell type proportions. If you want to use it on the region data, you could potentially map the CpG site in your region and take the region methylation as a proxy for that CpG site. The rationale behind is that the methylation levels of the neighboring CpGs are similar. Whether this trick works or not depends on the region length. I cannot guarantee it works well on your data. You could also consider other tools that use differentially methylated regions to estimate cell type proportion.
