DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark that has vital importance in both development and disease. Single cell bisulfite sequencing technologies enable profiling of the methylome at high resolution, providing the basis for dissecting the heterogeneity and dynamics of DNA methylation in complex tissues and over time. Despite the rapid increase in the number of experimental protocols for methylome sequencing, analytical tools designed specifically for single-cell data are lacking. We developed a computational tool, SINBAD, for efficient and standardized pre-processing, quality assessment and analysis of single cell methylation data. Starting from multiplexed sequencing reads, major analysis modules of SINBAD include preprocessing, read mapping, methylation quantification, multivariate analysis, and gene signature profiling. SINBAD provides a flexible platform to implement interoperable and robust processing of single-cell methylome data.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
