methurator is a Python package to estimate CpG sequencing saturation for DNA methylation sequencing data. It supports two complementary approaches:
- Chao's estimator (recommended)
- Empirical downsampling
Key features
- Extrapolate CpG discovery beyond observed sequencing depth
- Compute theoretical asymptotes
- Optional bootstrap confidence intervals
- Interactive HTML plots
- BioConda and BioContainer support
Installation
Pip
Dependencies
If you install methurator via pip, be sure to install its dependencies SAMtools and MethylDackel.
