DNA methylation needs 5 stages: Mapping and Normalization Preprocessing Analysing Visualisation Validation and interpretation Partek company has a software for all these stages but it is not free. My question is: 1- Which of the current packages have the five stages with different options? 2- I need a tutorial to follow to reproduce some figures like? Thank you

...Since this thread as returned to the top, here's my 2p.

I wrote a simple parser to extract methylation from bam files, bam2methylation.py

The latest version of BarraCUDA (ie 0.7.107f http://sourceforge.net/projects/seqbarracuda/, effectively BWA on CUDA hardware) can be used with epigenetics NGS data on graphics cards. However note that currently epigenetics data effectively doubles the size of the memory needed for the reference genome, so for human data you may need a GPU with more than 6GB. For noisy data, you might want to increase the allowed number of mismatches (option -n). Bill
