Empty MM/ML tag No methylation sites.
Missing MM/ML tag, np = 0 No kinetic input.
Missing MM/ML tag, np > 0 Insufficient passes.
That means, we couldn't process the read.
Thank you for the clarification.
Could you please also clarify why the reads with a low number of passes and missing ML/MM tags appear to be added to the unmethylated counts when using pb-CpG-tools with count
mode?
I am looking at CpG methylation probabilities from the jasmine-processed example data HG002.GRCh38.haplotagged.bam (downloaded from here).
When looking at the reads that overlap a given CpG site, I see that a minority of reads have no methylation ML/MM tag information for any CpGs on the read.
It appears that pb-CpG-tools treats these reads as corresponding to a set of unmethylated CpGs when using the
count
pileup method, but I am unsure how to treat these without the associated probabilities.What is the cause of these reads and how should they be handled?
