### Examples

    # load methylation data object
    data(methylationDataList)

    # save the two datasets
    saveBismark(methylationDataList[["WT"]],
               "chr3test_a_thaliana_wt.CX_report")
    saveBismark(methylationDataList[["met1-3"]],
               "chr3test_a_thaliana_met13.CX_report")

    # reload the two datasets and pool them
    filenames <- c("chr3test_a_thaliana_wt.CX_report",
                   "chr3test_a_thaliana_met13.CX_report")
    methylationDataPool <- readBismarkPool(filenames)
