I have successfully installed MethyAnalysis and I am not understanding how to load my data. The exampleMethyGenoSet RDA file doesn't give me too much information as to how I need to setup my own data. I am also unsure if this package is meant for the Illumina 450K microarray or the 27K. -- output of sessionInfo(): -- Sent via the guest posting facility at bioconductor.org.

Hi Ranya The vignette of MethyAnalysis package needs to be further improved. I will update it within next couple of weeks when I have time. As for creating MethyGenoSet objects, you can either use MethyGenoSet() function or converted them from MethyLumiM objects using MethyLumiM2GenoSet function, which is what I use. Basically the work flow is preprocessing the methylation data in the lumi package and then converted it as MethyGenoSet class and do further analysis. Since the MethyAnalysis package is designed for chromosome location based analysis, 450k data or sequencing data is recommended. 27K data can still use some functions (like plotting the data) in the package, but other functions (like slidewindow differential methylation detection) is not useful for 27k data. Hope this is helpful to you.
