Dm Test

The main purpose of the Dm_test.pl script is to detect the footprint of selection force in DNA methylation using SMP data. The underlying model of the test assumes the mutation rates among the cytosine sites of a locus following a gamma distribution, and requires the alpha parameter of the gamma distribution as the input. The alpha_estimation.pl, which requires the diff_two_seq.pl script, is for estimating the alpha value. See the -man/-help options for options and data preparation of the two scripts.
