I want to detect differentially methylated regions (DMRs) on a whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (BS-seq) dataset. 

However, instead of having two groups to compare, I'm working with a clinical parameter that is a continuous variable and would like to identify changes for unit of increase of my clinical parameter.

Software packages for RNA-seq analysis such as DESeq2 allow that by simply including the continuous variable in the model formula.

How can I perform a differential methylation analysys of BS-seq data using a continuous variable? What Bioconductor package(s) can I use?

Thanks!

I'm currently working on adding this capability to bsseq. It's not ready yet, but might be available soon. You should think about which scale you want to do the analysis on, and whether it makes sense, given the bounded nature of methylation.

Thank you. That's great to hear and I look forward to it.

Do you know of any other package that allows to do that?
