We focus on the methylation data from Illumina\u2019s Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip. One of the key issues of methylation analysis is to detect the differential methylation sites between case and control groups. Previous approaches describe data with simple summary statistics or kernel function, and then use statistical tests to determine the difference. However, a summary statistics-based approach cannot capture complicated underlying structure, and a kernel function-based approach lacks interpretability of results.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: We propose a novel method D3M, for detection of differential distribution of methylation, based on distribution-valued data. Our method can detect the differences in high-order moments, such as shapes of underlying distributions in methylation profiles, based on the Wasserstein metric. We test the significance of the difference between case and control groups and provide an interpretable summary of the results. The simulation results show that the proposed method achieves promising accuracy and shows favorable results compared with previous methods. Glioblastoma multiforme and lower grade glioma data from The Cancer Genome Atlas show that our method supports recent biological advances and suggests new insights.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Availability and Implementation: R implemented code is freely available from https:\/\/github.com\/ymatts\/D3M\/.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0ymatsui@med.nagoya-u.ac.jp or shimamura@med.nagoya-u.ac.jp<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Supplementary information: \u00a0Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btw138","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,3,12]],"date-time":"2016-03-12T20:18:47Z","timestamp":1457813927000},"page":"2248-2255","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["D3M: detection of differential distributions of methylation levels"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Yusuke","family":"Matsui","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine, Nagoya 466-8550, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masahiro","family":"Mizuta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2 Information Initiative Center, Hokkaido University, Sapporo 060-0811, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Satoshi","family":"Ito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3 Institute of Medical Science, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo 108-8639, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Satoru","family":"Miyano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3 Institute of Medical Science, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo 108-8639, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Teppei","family":"Shimamura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine, Nagoya 466-8550, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,3,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023020112450480400_btw138-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1007\/978-1-4614-6396-2","volume-title":"Outlier Analysis","author":"Aggarwal","year":"2013"},{"key":"2023020112450480400_btw138-B2","first-page":"636","author":"Applegate","year":"2011"},{"key":"2023020112450480400_btw138-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S4","DOI":"10.1038\/ncponc0354","article-title":"DNA methylation and gene silencing in cancer","volume":"2","author":"Baylin","year":"2005","journal-title":"Nat.
