ChAMP: updated methylation analysis pipeline for Illumina BeadChips

Bioinformatics. 2017 Dec 15;33(24):3982-3984. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btx513.

Abstract

Summary: The Illumina Infinium HumanMethylationEPIC BeadChip is the new platform for high-throughput DNA methylation analysis, effectively doubling the coverage compared to the older 450 K array. Here we present a significantly updated and improved version of the Bioconductor package ChAMP, which can be used to analyze EPIC and 450k data. Many enhanced functionalities have been added, including correction for cell-type heterogeneity, network analysis and a series of interactive graphical user interfaces.

Availability and implementation: ChAMP is a BioC package available from https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/ChAMP.html.
