Abstract
Simultaneous measurement of 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) at the single-nucleotide level can be obtained by combining data from DNA processing methods including traditional bisulfite (BS), oxidative bisulfite (oxBS), or Tet-assisted (TAB) bisulfite conversion. Array-based technologies have been widely used in this task, due to their time and cost efficiency. For methylation studies using BS data, many protocols and related packages have been suggested in the literature to deal with limitations and confounders that arise from array data. In this chapter, we illustrate how the reader can make small adjustments to these protocols to obtain estimates of methylation and hydroxymethylation proportions.
