Turns raw Illumina Infinium methylation BeadChip IDATs (450K, EPIC, EPICv2) into a defensible beta/M matrix with sesame (openSesame/SigDF) or minfi (RGChannelSet -> MethylSet -> GenomicRatioSet). Covers Type I vs Type II probe chemistry and why raw Type II beta is compressed, the signal-to-beta math (beta = M/(M+U+100)) and M-value logit, detection-p / pOOBAH masking including the out-of-band deletion-artifact catch, dye-bias correction, and the normalization decision…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

## Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: sesame 1.20+, minfi 1.48+, ChAMP 2.32+, wateRmelon 2.8+.

Before using code patterns, verify installed versions match. If versions differ:
- R: `packageVersion('<pkg>')` then `?function_name` to verify parameters

If code throws ImportError, AttributeError, or TypeError, introspect the installed
package and adapt the example to match the actual API rather than retrying.

The ARRAY VERSION and GENOME BUILD are versions that matter as much as the package. EPICv2 REQUIRES sesame (mainstream minfi does not auto-detect it and returns "Unknown"); the manifest/annotation packages are array-version- and genome-build-specific (450K and EPICv1 are hg19; EPICv2 is hg38-native). sesame pulls platform/address data from its own hub, so `sesameDataCache()` must run once before processing. Record the array (450K/EPIC/EPICv2) and the genome build in any output, the way a sequencing run records its reference.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add fridrichmethod/awesome-skills/bio-methylation-array-preprocessing@sha256:b21c17d47139d332

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260614.5d4591c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
