Description: This package is designed for the import, quality control,
        analysis, and visualization of methylation data generated using
        Sequenom's MassArray platform.  The tools herein contain a
        highly detailed amplicon prediction for optimal assay design.
        Also included are quality control measures of data, such as
        primer dimer and bisulfite conversion efficiency estimation.
        Methylation data are calculated using the same algorithms
        contained in the EpiTyper software package.  Additionally,
        automatic SNP-detection can be used to flag potentially
        confounded data from specific CG sites.  Visualization includes
        barplots of methylation data as well as UCSC Genome
        Browser-compatible BED tracks.  Multiple assays can be
        positionally combined for integrated analysis.
