**3. Computational approaches for the analysis of MeDIP-seq data**

A number of computational tools have been developed for the analysis of MeDIP data (Table 1), including Batman [33], MEDME [37], MEDIPS [38], MeQA [39] and MeDUSA [40]. The method to use depends very much on the questions you want to ask of the data, and as a result the type of analysis performed can be described as analyzing absolute methylation or, alternatively, relative methylation.
