Epigentic State Modeling Utility

Project description

Epigenetic Pacemaker

A fast conditional expectation maximization algorithm for modeling epigenetic state

DNA methylation is widely used to model physiological phenotypes, such as aging1 and type II diabetes2. The epigenetic pacemaker, EPM, is an implementation of the a fast conditional expectation maximization algorithm for modeling epigenetic states associated with a phenotype of interest 3 The EPM was first introduced by Snir et al. 4 as an extension of the Universal Pacemaker (UPM) to model epigenetic aging. Additionally, the EPM can model non-linear epigenetic trait associations directly without transformation of the phenotype of interest5.
