On the Use of Binary Trees for DNA Hydroxymethylation Analysis

2017

DNA methylation (mC) and hydroxymethylation (hmC) can have a significant effect on normal human development, health and disease status. Hydroxymethylation studies require specific treatment of DNA, as well as software tools for their analysis. In this paper, we propose a parallel software tool for analyzing the DNA hydroxymethylation data obtained by TAB-seq. The software is based on the use of binary trees for searching the different occurrences of methylation and hydroxymethylation in DNA samples. The binary trees allow to efficiently store and access the information about the methylation of each methylated/hydroxymethylated cytosines in the samples. Evaluation results shows that the perf…
