Calculate gene-level methylation for a dataset containing CpGs from the Illumina 450k methylation array. Gene-level methylation is calculated as the median beta-value among CpG islands in the gene promoter region.

Usage

gene.methylation(methy, print.progress = TRUE)

Arguments

methy

methylation dataset where rownames give patient ids and columns use CpG ids

print.progress

TRUE/FALSE to show progress bar

Examples

data(example.data);

### full example (may take a few mins to run)
#example.data.gene.methy <- gene.methylation(example.data);

### fast example
set.seed(123);
example.data <- example.data[,sample(1:ncol(example.data), 10)];
example.data.gene.methy <- gene.methylation(example.data);
