Description

Description of feature

I have developed an alternative version of the methylarray pipeline based on a different analytical approach:

SeSAMe for QC (pOOBAH detection p-values)

limma for DMP analysis

DMRcate for DMR calling

Custom filtering of XY/non-CG/bead probes
I would like to propose this as a contribution. Would the maintainers be open to integrating this as an alternative method, or should I submit it as a standalone PR?

Research direction

The issue describes an alternative methylation analysis using SeSAMe, limma, DMRcate, and custom probe filtering, but names no files, tests, or entry points. First clarify whether this belongs in the pipeline or a standalone contribution; done is not defined until the integration scope and validation expectations are agreed.
