| Abstract |
Affinity capture of DNA methylation combined with high-throughput sequencing strikes a good balancebetween the high cost of whole genome bisulfite sequencing and the low coverage of methylationarrays. We present BayMeth, an empirical Bayes approach that uses a fully methylated control sampleto transform observed read counts into regional methylation levels. In our model, inefficient capturecan readily be distinguished from low methylation levels. BayMeth improves on existing methods,allows explicit modeling of copy number variation, and offers computationally-efficient analyticalmean and variance estimators. BayMeth is available in the Repitools Bioconductor package. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 19. 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 24 April 2020.
All research outputs
#1,980,393
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Genome Biology
#1,676
of 4,467 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#23,015
of 329,202 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Genome Biology
#45
of 95 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 92nd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,467 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 27.6. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 62% 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 329,202 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 95 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 52% of its contemporaries.
