All versions¶
- Some bug fixes and modernisations courtesy of Konstantin Riege:
- output truncated and unpredictable as of GCC version 12+ due to illegal stack copy operation
- scripts shebang containing absolute path
- pthreads used as linker option only and not as compiler option, old C standard 99
- potential overflow when pretty printing date and time
- unsafe macro expansions
- tab/space mix of indentations (cosmetic)
- New option added to select Benjamini-Hochberg (FDR) as method for multiple testing correction of p-values. New option added to set maximum segment length in case of memory issues. Assignment of samples to groups is now done via prefix instead of substring matches and incorporation of an additional check to prevent samples to be assigned to both groups. Alternative random number generator PCG (http://www.pcg-random.org) instead of stdlib's rand() added to provide reproducible results across different platforms that can be enabled with the additional compiler flag "-DPCGRNG". Precision of p-values and adjusted p-values in output was increased from 2 to 5.
- Calculation of mean difference per DMR in DMC modus. Concordant with other modi it is group1 mean - group2 mean.
- (including input/output wrappers)
- Versioning updated
- Predefined cutoff for -X and -Y options corrected (set to 0.8 as specified in the manual)
- Seed for random generator initialized with a specific number
- (including input/output wrappers)

Simulated DMRs and input files¶
Simulated DMRs and input files with simulated methylation rates for all tested tools are available here (2.1GB) .
Scripts to simulate DMRs¶
The scripts to simulate DMRs from scratch are provided in a separate file (9.7MB) .
