Calculation of methylation level
Methylation level was computed to measure the intensity and degree of DNA methylation of single cytosines or larger genomic regions. The methylation level is defined as the ratio of the sum of methylated basecall counts over the sum of both methylated and unmethylated basecall counts at one cytosine or across sites in a given region53, subtracting the sodium bisulfite non-conversion rate. The sodium bisulfite non-conversion rate is defined as the methylation level of the bisulfite-treated lambda genome.
We calculated this metric for cytosines in both CG context and CH contexts (H = A, C or T). The former is called the CG methylation (mCG) level or mCG level and the latter is called the CH methylation (mCH) level or mCH level.
