“…However, DNA-methylation detection using nanopore sequencing presents a methodological challenge, i.e., the capacity to detect modifications in different CpGs that are in close proximity to one another on a DNA fragment (i.e., nonsingleton), as it is assumed that all CpGs within a 10-bp region share the same methylation status. Twelve methylation-calling tools have been developed for various DNA modifications (e.g., 4mC, 5mC, 5hmC, and 6 mA) and for different nanopore pore versions (e.g., R7, R9, and R10) (Table 1 [9,20,23,[31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39]), but DNA-methylation detection for non-singletons containing both methylated and unmethylated CpGs remains difficult [9,35]. Moreover, DNA methylation levels are not linearly distributed across the genome, and CpG density is dependent on genomic context [40][41][42].…”
