The MethPipe software package is a computational pipeline for analyzing bisulfite sequencing data (WGBS and RRBS). MethPipe provides tools for mapping bisulfite sequencing read and estimating methylation levels at individual cytosine sites. Additionally, MethPipe also includes tools for identifying higher-level methylation features, such as hypo-methylated regions (HMR), partially methylated domains (PMD), hyper-methylated regions (HyperMR), and allele-specific methylated regions (AMR).
You may download the latest stable release from:http://smithlabresearch.org/software/methpipe/
This software package has been designed to operate in a UNIX-like environment.
It has been tested on MacOS X Snow Leopard and Linux.

Step 0
This software package requires a functioning installation of the GNU Scientific Library (GSL). If you don't already have this installed, you will need to download and install it from http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/
-
Step 1
To build the binaries, type the following, where '>' is your prompt and the CWD is the root of the distribution:
> make all
-
Step 2
To install the binaries, type the following, where '>' is your prompt and the CWD is the root of the distribution:
> make install
This will place the binaries in the bin directory under the package root. They can be used directly from there without any additional steps. You can add that directory to your PATH environment variable to avoid having to specify their full paths, or you can copy the binaries to another directory of your choice in your PATH
For advanced users who are interested in the newest features, you may obtain the latest source code by cloning the MethPipe repository:
> git clone --recursive https://github.com/smithlabcode/methpipe.git
After you clone the latest source code, follow the above steps for installation.
