Abstract
Bisulfite sequencing (BS-seq) technology has enabled the detection and measurement of DNA methylation at the single-nucleotide level. A fundamental question in functional epigenomics research is whether DNA methylation varies under different biological contexts. Thus, identifying differentially methylated loci/regions (DML/DMRs) is a key task in BS-seq data analysis. Here we describe detailed procedures to perform differential methylation analyses for BS-seq using the Bioconductor package DSS. The analysis scheme in this chapter will guide researchers through differential methylation analyses by providing step-by-step instructions for analytical tools.
