Abstract excerpt
We have developed the regionalpcs method, an approach for summarizing gene-level methylation. regionalpcs addresses the challenge of deciphering complex epigenetic mechanisms in diseases like Alzheimer's disease. In contrast to averaging, regionalpcs uses principal components analysis to capture complex methylation patterns across gene regions. Our method demonstrates a 54% improvement in sensitivity over...
