scMET - Bayesian modelling of cell-to-cell DNA methylation heterogeneity

High-throughput single-cell measurements of DNA methylomes can quantify methylation heterogeneity and uncover its role in gene regulation. However, technical limitations and sparse coverage can preclude this task. scMET is a hierarchical Bayesian model which overcomes sparsity, sharing information across cells and genomic features to robustly quantify genuine biological heterogeneity. scMET can identify highly variable features that drive epigenetic heterogeneity, and perform differential methylation and variability analyses. We illustrate how scMET facilitates the characterization of epigenetically distinct cell populations and how it enables the formulation of novel hypotheses on the epigenetic regulation of gene expression.

BPRMeth - Model higher-order methylation profiles

The BPRMeth package is a probabilistic method to quantify explicit features of methylation profiles, in a way that would make it easier to formally use such profiles in downstream modelling efforts, such as predicting gene expression levels or clustering genomic regions or cells according to their methylation profiles.

Melissa - Bayesian clustering and imputationa of single cell methylomes

Melissa is a Baysian probabilistic model for jointly clustering and imputing single cell methylomes. This is done by taking into account local correlations via a Generalised Linear Model approach and global similarities using a mixture modelling approach.
