There are several aspects that we can improve over existing DMR detection methods: (i) methylation statuses of nearby CpG sites are highly correlated, but this fact has seldom been modelled rigorously due to the uneven spacing; (ii) it is practically important to be able to handle both paired and unpaired samples; and (iii) the capability to detect DMRs from a single pair of samples is demanded.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We present DMRMark (DMR detection based on non-homogeneous hidden Markov model), a novel Bayesian framework for detecting DMRs from methylation array data. It combines the constrained Gaussian mixture model that incorporates the biological knowledge with the non-homogeneous hidden Markov model that models spatial correlation. Unlike existing methods, our DMR detection is achieved without predefined boundaries or decision windows. Furthermore, our method can detect DMRs from a single pair of samples and can also incorporate unpaired samples. Both simulation studies and real datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas showed the significant improvement of DMRMark over other methods.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Availability and implementation<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>DMRMark is freely available as an R package at the CRAN R package repository.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Supplementary information<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btx467","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,18]],"date-time":"2017-07-18T11:09:44Z","timestamp":1500376184000},"page":"3701-3708","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Detect differentially methylated regions using non-homogeneous hidden Markov model for methylation array data"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Linghao","family":"Shen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Genetics and Genomic Sciences, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York University, New York, NY, USA"}]},{"given":"Shuo-Yen","family":"Robert Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Sichuan, China"}]},{"given":"Xiaodan","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Statistics, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,20]]},"reference":[{"year":"2012","author":"Acton","key":"2023020207004158200_btx467-B1"},{"key":"2023020207004158200_btx467-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1363","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btu049","article-title":"Minfi: a flexible and comprehensive bioconductor package for the analysis of Infinium DNA methylation microarrays","volume":"30","author":"Aryee","year":"2014","journal-title":"Bioinformatics"},{"key":"2023020207004158200_btx467-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1410","DOI":"10.1016\/j.juro.2016.12.096","article-title":"FGFR3, TERT and OTX1 as a Urinary Biomarker Combination for Surveillance of Patients with Bladder Cancer in a Large Prospective Multicenter Study","volume":"197","author":"Beukers","year":"2017","journal-title":"J.
