Description: apply independent component analysis (ICA) to methylation data to extract epigenetic signatures and perform downstream analyses and representations to interpret the biological meaning of methylation components. ## Installation -======== -Install from the GitHub repository using devtools: +Install from the GitHub repository using devtools: +``` install.packages("devtools") library(devtools) devtools::install_github("FunGeST/MethICA") +``` ## Input files -======== + For the extraction of methylation signature _MethICA_ requires one mandatory input file -- a **methylation level** file (bval) describing methylation levels of individual CpG sites or genomic regions (row) in each sample (column). Two additional files are needed for the interpretation of methylation components: a **CpG annotation** file describing the epigenetic context of CpG sites, and a **sample annotation** providing any relevant information about the samples. **The input files should have the following format. Example input files are provided with the package.** @@ -46,14 +46,13 @@ For the extraction of methylation signature _MethICA_ requires one mandatory inp * `Sample`: Sample identifier.
