[x] This chapter raises some very important points on the study of correlation in bisulfite sequencing datasets. This includes some fundamental issues with the interpretation of the signal that might come from the underlying sequencing composition rather than the actual methylation pattern. It also raises important issues regarding availability of software implementation. I would encourage the candidate not to give up but to be persistent when requesting software or data from authors, as lack of response or an incomplete answer is more often caused by shortage of time rather than unwillingness to help.
