## REMP: Repetitive Element Methylation Prediction *REMP* provides machine learning-based tools to predict DNA methylation of locus-specific repetitive elements (RE) by learning surrounding genetic and epigenetic information. These tools provide genomewide and single-base resolution of DNA methylation prediction on RE that are difficult to measure directly using array-based or sequencing-based platforms, which enables epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) and differentially methylated region (DMR) analysis on RE. Supporting methylation platforms: + Illumina 450k BeadChip Array + Illumina EPIC BeadChip Array + Illumina methylation sequencing platforms (e.g., TruSeq Methyl Capture EPIC) ## Installation REMP is available in Bioconductor repository ```r ## try http:// if https:// URLs are not supported if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly=TRUE)) install.packages("BiocManager") ## To get the latest version of REMP, please make sure you are using the latest Bioconductor ## Install REMP BiocManager::install("REMP") ``` ## Citation: Zheng Y, Joyce BT, Liu L, Zhang Z, Kibbe WA, Zhang W, Hou L.
