Question: Can this pipeline be used for bacterial methylation detectin. #31

Hello,

In E.coli Dcm methyltransferases methylate the C5 position of the second cytosine in the sequences CCAGG and CCTGG. I was wondering if I could use your tool for detecting this in bacteria or is it somehow restricted to the CpG sites in eukaryotes?

Thank you! Martina

Hi Martina,

We decided to focus on CpG sites, which are the most common methylation sites in humans, but everything should be applicable to non-CG sites. However, we have not compared non-CG site predictions with bisulfite data.
