Conserved Differentially Methylated Elements from One Generation to the Next: Inheritance versus Randomness
The methylInheritance package implements a permutation analysis, based on Monte Carlo sampling, for testing the hypothesis that the number of conserved differentially methylated elements, between several generations, is associated to an effect inherited from a treatment and that stochastic effect can be dismissed.
