    how to compare methylomes

    Hi, I am new to bisulfite sequencing and am confronted with an experiment where I would have to compare methylation states for several samples, some of which are paired (i.e. same individual, different tissues).
    After some reading I have found Bismark to do methylation analysis on a one-by-one sample basis, if I am not wrong. I think I will be using Bismark for detecting methylation in a per sample basis.

    But my question is, can anyone provide some guidelines as to how to compare samples after detecting methylation hotspots and if it is possible to take into account the pairing issue? Also, any references I can look for would be great.

    Thanks

    In case it helps anyone, I found this article with one possible solution:

    Bioinformatics. 2013 May 8.
    Detection of Significantly Differentially Methylated Regions in Targeted Bisulfite Sequencing Data.

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

      Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

      New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
      by SEQadmin2


      Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

      We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
