Description: High-throughput single-cell measurements of DNA methylomes
        can quantify methylation heterogeneity and uncover its role in
        gene regulation. However, technical limitations and sparse
        coverage can preclude this task. scMET is a hierarchical
        Bayesian model which overcomes sparsity, sharing information
        across cells and genomic features to robustly quantify genuine
        biological heterogeneity. scMET can identify highly variable
        features that drive epigenetic heterogeneity, and perform
        differential methylation and variability analyses. We
        illustrate how scMET facilitates the characterization of
        epigenetically distinct cell populations and how it enables the
        formulation of novel hypotheses on the epigenetic regulation of
        gene expression.
