RoAM: computational reconstruction of ancient methylomes and identification of differentially methylated regions

Abstract We present a new and considerably improved version of RoAM (Reconstruction of Ancient Methylation), a flexible tool for reconstructing ancient methylomes and identifying differentially methylated regions (DMRs) between populations. Through a series of filtering and quality control steps, Ro...
