A question about the frequency threshold determination #44

Closed Wyinghao closed 8 months ago

Wyinghao commented 8 months ago

I used the call_freqb as described and output the BED file, column 11 of the file is the frequency and likelihood of methylation sites, I would like to ask you if there is a recommended filter value (how much frequency should be greater) as a trusted methylation site.

Hi @Wyinghao , thanks for using our tool. In my opinion, there's no common thresholds for methylated or unmethylated sites. It depends on the problem and the data. Generally, I would take >=0.7, <=0.3 to get highly methylated and lowly methylated sites, respectively.

Best, Peng
