MethScope: Ultra-Fast Analysis of Sparse DNA Methylome via Recurrent Pattern Encoding
Methods for analyzing DNA methylation data via Most Recurrent Methylation Patterns (MRMPs). Supports cell-type annotation, spatial deconvolution, unsupervised clustering, and cancer cell-of-origin inference. Includes C-backed summaries for YAME “.cg/.cm” files (overlap counts, log2 odds ratios, beta/depth aggregation), an XGBoost classifier, NNLS deconvolution, and plotting utilities. Scales to large spatial and single-cell methylomes and is robust to extreme sparsity.
