| Abstract |
The genome-wide investigation of DNA methylation levels has been limited to reference transposable element positions. The methylation analysis of non-reference and mobile transposable elements has only recently been performed, but required both genome resequencing and MethylC-seq datasets. We have created epiTEome, a program that detects both new transposable element insertion sites and their methylation states from a single MethylC-seq dataset. EpiTEome outperforms other split-read insertion site detection programs, even while functioning on bisulfite-converted reads. EpiTEome characterizes the previously discarded fraction of DNA methylation at sites of new insertions, enabling future investigation into the epigenetic regulation of non-reference and transposed elements. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 38. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 March 2018.
All research outputs
#1,100,318
of 25,756,911 outputs
Outputs from Genome Biology
#782
of 4,512 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#21,502
of 325,655 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Genome Biology
#20
of 65 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,756,911 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 95th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,512 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 27.5. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 325,655 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 93% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 65 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its contemporaries.
