MethylExtract

MethylExtract is a user friendly tool to generate i) high quality, whole genome methylation maps and ii) to detect sequence variation within the same sample preparation. The program is implemented into a single script and takes into account all major error sources: sequencing errors, bisulfite failure, clonal reads and single nucleotide variants. MethylExtract detects variation (SNVs – Single Nucleotide Variation) in a similar way than VarScan, a very sensitive method extensively used in SNP and genotype calling based on non-bisulfite treated reads.
