Description: A complete toolset for 
        methylome-wide association studies (MWAS).
        It is specifically designed for data from 
        enrichment based methylation assays,
        but can be applied to other data as well.
        The analysis pipeline includes seven steps:
        (1) scanning aligned reads from BAM files,
        (2) calculation of quality control measures,
        (3) creation of methylation score (coverage) matrix,
        (4) principal component analysis for capturing batch effects and
        detection of outliers,
        (5) association analysis with respect to phenotypes of interest
        while correcting for top PCs and known covariates,
        (6) annotation of significant findings, and
        (7) multi-marker analysis (methylation risk score) using elastic net.
        Additionally, RaMWAS include tools for joint analysis of methlyation
        and genotype data.
