1. Introduction
EpiMix is a comprehensive tool for the integrative analysis of DNA methylation data and gene expression data (Figure 1). EpiMix enables automated data downloading (from TCGA or GEO), pre-processing, methylation modeling, interactive visualization and functional annotation. To identify hypo- or hypermethylated genes, EpiMix uses a beta mixture model to identify the methylation states of each CpG site and compares the DNA methylation of an experimental group to a control group. The output from EpiMix is the functional changes in DNA methylation that is associated with gene expression.
EpiMix incorporates specialized algorithms to identify functional DNA methylation at various genetic elements, including proximal cis-regulatory elements within or surrounding protein-coding genes, distal enhancers, and genes encoding microRNAs (miRNAs) or lncRNAs. There are four alternative analytic modes for modeling DNA methylation at different genetic elements:
- Regular: cis-regulatory elements within or surrounding protein-coding genes.
- Enhancer: distal enhancers.
- miRNA: miRNA-coding genes.
- lncRNA: lncRNA-coding genes.

4. Methylation modeling
4.1 Regular mode
# Specify the output directory
outputDirectory = tempdir()
# We compare the DNA methylation in cancer (group.1) to the normal (group.2) tissues
EpiMixResults_Regular <- EpiMix(methylation.data = MET.data,
gene.expression.data = mRNA.data,
sample.info = LUAD.sample.annotation,
group.1 = "Cancer",
group.2 = "Normal",
met.platform = "HM450",
OutputRoot = outputDirectory)One of the major outputs of EpiMix is a $FunctionalPairs matrix, indicating the differentially methylated CpG sites that are signficantly associated with gene expression:
4.2 Enhancer mode
The Enhancer mode targets DNA methylation analysis on distal enhancers of protein-coding genes.
# First, we need to set the analytic mode to enhancer
mode <- "Enhancer"
# Since enhancers are cell or tissue-type specific, EpiMix needs
# to know the reference cell type or tissue to select proper enhancers.
# Available ids for tissue or cell types can be
# obtained from Figure 2 of the RoadmapEpigenomic
# paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/nature14248.
# Alternatively, they can also be retrieved from the
# built-in function `list.epigenomes()`.
roadmap.epigenome.ids = "E096"
# Specify the output directory
outputDirectory = tempdir()
# Third, run EpiMix
EpiMixResults_Enhancer <- EpiMix(methylation.data = MET.data,
gene.expression.data = mRNA.data,

group.1 = "Cancer",
group.2 = "Normal",
met.platform = "HM450",
OutputRoot = outputDirectory)4.3 miRNA mode
The miRNA mode targets DNA methylation analysis on miRNA-coding genes.
# Note that running the methylation analysis for miRNA genes need gene expression data for miRNAs
data(microRNA.data)
mode <- "miRNA"
# Specify the output directory

mode = mode,
sample.info = LUAD.sample.annotation,
group.1 = "Cancer",
group.2 = "Normal",
met.platform = "HM450",
OutputRoot = outputDirectory)4.4 lncRNA mode
The lncRNA mode targets DNA methylation analysis on lncRNA-coding genes.
# Note: standard RNA-seq processing method can not detect sufficient amount of lncRNAs.
# To maximize the capture of lncRNA expression, please use the pipeline propoased
# in our previous study: PMID: 31808800

EpiMix enables automated DNA methylation analysis for cancer data from the TCGA project with a single-function TCGA_GetData. This function wraps the functions for (1) data downloading, (2) pre-processing and (3) DNA methylation analysis. By default, EpiMix compares the DNA methylation in tumors to normal tissues.
# Set up the TCGA cancer site. "OV" stands for ovarian cancer.
CancerSite <- "OV"
# Specify the analytic mode.
mode <- "Regular"
# Set the file path for saving the output.
outputDirectory <- tempdir()
# Only required if mode == "Enhancer".
roadmap.epigenome.ids = "E097"
# Run EpiMix
# We highly encourage to use multiple (>=10) CPU cores to
# speed up the computational process for large datasets
EpiMixResults <- TCGA_GetData(CancerSite = CancerSite,
mode = mode,
roadmap.epigenome.ids = roadmap.epigenome.ids,
outputDirectory = outputDirectory,
cores = 10)6. Step-by-step functions for TCGA data
The above one-step functions in Section can be executed in a step-by-step manner in case users want to inspect the output from each individual step.
6.1 Download and preprocess DNA methylation data from TCGA
- Download DNA methylation data
METdirectories <- TCGA_Download_DNAmethylation(CancerSite = "OV",
TargetDirectory = outputDirectory)cat("HM27k directory:", METdirectories$METdirectory27k, "\n")
#> HM27k directory: /home/biocbuild/bbs-3.20-bioc/tmpdir/Rtmp3XHwv6/gdac_20160128/gdac.broadinstitute.org_OV.Merge_methylation__humanmethylation27__jhu_usc_edu__Level_3__within_bioassay_data_set_function__data.Level_3.2016012800.0.0/
cat("HM450k directory:", METdirectories$METdirectory450k, "\n")
#> HM450k directory: /home/biocbuild/bbs-3.20-bioc/tmpdir/Rtmp3XHwv6/gdac_20160128/gdac.broadinstitute.org_OV.Merge_methylation__humanmethylation450__jhu_usc_edu__Level_3__within_bioassay_data_set_function__data.Level_3.2016012800.0.0/- Preprocess DNA methylation data
Preprocessing includes eliminating samples and genes with too many missing values (default: 20%), imputing remaining missing values, removing single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) probes.
The pre-processed DNA methylation data is a matrix with CpG probes in rows and patient in columns. The values in the matrix represent beta values of DNA methylation:
| TCGA-04-1331-01 | TCGA-04-1332-01 | TCGA-04-1335-01 | TCGA-04-1336-01 | TCGA-04-1337-01 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| cg00000292 | 0.9221302 | 0.4648186 | 0.9042943 | 0.7567368 | 0.8791313 |
| cg00002426 | 0.1486593 | 0.0562675 | 0.2632028 | 0.2009483 | 0.0726626 |

Optional. Since TCGA data were collected in technical batches, systematic differences may exist between technical batches. Users can optionally correct the batch effect using thedoBatchCorrection parameter. EpiMix provides two alternative methods for batch effect correction: Seurat and Combat. The Seurat method (PMID: 31178118) is much more time efficient compared to the Combat (PMID: 16632515). If using the Combat method, users are encouraged to use multiple CPU cores by tuning the cores parameter.
6.2 Download and preprocess gene expression data
# If use the Regular or the Enhancer mode:
GEdirectories <- TCGA_Download_GeneExpression(CancerSite = "OV",
TargetDirectory = outputDirectory)
# If use the miRNA mode, download miRNA expression data:
mode <- "miRNA"
GEdirectories <- TCGA_Download_GeneExpression(CancerSite = "OV",
TargetDirectory = outputDirectory,
mode = mode)
# If use the lncRNA mode, download lncRNA expression data:
mode <- "lncRNA"
GEdirectories <- TCGA_Download_GeneExpression(CancerSite = "OV",
TargetDirectory = outputDirectory,
mode = mode)- Preprocess gene expression data
GEProcessedData <- TCGA_Preprocess_GeneExpression(CancerSite = "OV",
MAdirectories = GEdirectories,
mode = mode
)The pre-processed gene expression data is a matrix with gene in rows and patients in columns.
Example of gene expression data:
| TCGA-04-1331-01 | TCGA-04-1332-01 | TCGA-04-1335-01 | TCGA-04-1336-01 | TCGA-04-1337-01 | |

- Generate the sample annotation
To identify the hypo- or hyper-methylated genes, EpiMix compares the DNA methylation in tumors to normal tissues. Therefore, EpiMix needs to know which samples in the DNA methylation and gene expression data are tumors (group.1), and which are normal tissues (group.2). The TCGA_GetSampleInfo function can be used to generate a dataframe of sample information.
sample.info = TCGA_GetSampleInfo(METProcessedData = METProcessedData,
CancerSite = "OV",
TargetDirectory = outputDirectory)The sample.info is a dataframe with two columns: the primary column indicates the sample identifiers and the sample.type column indicates which group each sample belongs to:
| primary | sample.type |
|---|---|
| TCGA-04-1331-01 | Cancer |
| TCGA-04-1332-01 | Cancer |
| TCGA-04-1335-01 | Cancer |
| TCGA-04-1336-01 | Cancer |
7. Visualization
EpiMix enables diverse types of visualization.
7.1 Mixture model and gene expression

plots <- EpiMix_PlotModel(
EpiMixResults = Sample_EpiMixResults_Regular,
Probe = "cg14029001",
methylation.data = MET.data,
gene.expression.data = mRNA.data,
GeneName = "CCND3"
)# Mixture model of the DNA methylation of the CCND3 gene at cg14029001
plots$MixtureModelPlot
# Violin plot of the gene expression levels of the CCND3 gene in different mixtures
plots$ViolinPlot
# Correlation between DNA methylation and gene expression of CCND3
plots$CorrelationPlot
7.2 Genome-browser style visualization
7.2.1 Integrative visualization of the chromatin state, DNA methylation, and transcript structure of a specific gene
library(karyoploteR)
library(TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene)
library(org.Hs.eg.db)
library(regioneR)
data(Sample_EpiMixResults_Regular)
gene.name = "CCND2"
met.platform = "HM450"
# Since the chromatin states are cell-type specific, we need to specify a reference cell or
# tissue type for plotting. Available cell or tissue type can be found in
# Figure 2 of the Roadmap Epigenomics paper (nature, PMID: 25693563):
# https://www.nature.com/articles/nature14248
roadmap.epigenome.id = "E096"
EpiMix_PlotGene(gene.name = gene.name,
EpiMixResults = Sample_EpiMixResults_Regular,
met.platform = met.platform,
roadmap.epigenome.id = roadmap.epigenome.id
)
Integrative visualization of the chromatin state, DM values and the transcript structure of the CCND2 gene. The differential methylation (DM) value represents the mean difference in beta values between the hypermethylated samples versus the normally methylated samples.
7.2.2 Plot the chromatin state of a CpG site and the expression of its nearby genes
This plot is used for visualization of a differentially methylated enhancer. The genes shown in red are the genes whose transcription was negatively associated with the DNA methylation of an enhancer.
# The CpG site to plot
probe.name = "cg00374492"
# The number of adjacent genes to be plotted
# Warnings: setting the gene number to a high value (>20 genes) may blow the internal memory
numFlankingGenes = 10
# Set up the reference cell/tissue type
roadmap.epigenome.id = "E096"
# Generate the plot
EpiMix_PlotProbe(probe.name,
EpiMixResults = Sample_EpiMixResults_Regular,
met.platform = "HM450",
numFlankingGenes = numFlankingGenes,
roadmap.epigenome.id = roadmap.epigenome.id,
left.gene.margin = 10000, # left graph margin in nucleotide base pairs
right.gene.margin = 10000 # right graph margin in nucleotide base pairs
)
8. Pathway enrichment analysis
EpiMix integrates the clusterProfiler R package to perform the function enrichment analysis of the differentially methylated genes. Enrichment results can be visualized in both tabular format and in graphic format. See this paper for more details.
8.1 Gene ontology (GO) analysis
library(clusterProfiler)
library(org.Hs.eg.db)
# We want to check the functions of both the hypo- and hypermethylated genes.
methylation.state = "all"
# Use the gene ontology for functional analysis.
enrich.method = "GO"
# Use the "biological process" subterm

9. Biomarker identification
After the differentially methylated genes were identified, we look for the genes whose methylation states are associated with patient survival. For each differentially methylated CpG, we compare the survival of the abnormally methylated patients to the normally methylated patients. The GetSurvivalProbe function generates all the survival associated CpGs.
library(survival)
# We use a sample result from running the EpiMix's miRNA mode on the
# lung adenocarcinomas (LUAD) data from TCGA
data("Sample_EpiMixResults_miRNA")
# Set the TCGA cancer site.
CancerSite = "LUAD"
# Find survival-associated CpGs/genes
survival.CpGs <- GetSurvivalProbe (EpiMixResults = Sample_EpiMixResults_miRNA, TCGA_CancerSite = CancerSite)
| Probe | Genes | State | HR | lower.Cl | higher.Cl | p.value | adjusted.p.value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| cg00909706 | hsa-mir-34a | Hyper | 1.8164322924391 | 1.17176293780833 | 2.8157796825242 | 0.0067882646557248 | 0.0067883 |
Plot the Kaplan-Meier survival curve for the normally and the abnormally methylated patients.
library(survminer)
# Select the target CpG site whose methylation states will be evaluated
Probe = "cg00909706"
# If using data from TCGA, just input the cancer site
CancerSite = "LUAD"
EpiMix_PlotSurvival(EpiMixResults = Sample_EpiMixResults_miRNA,
plot.probe = Probe,
TCGA_CancerSite = CancerSite)
Survival curve for patients showing different methylation states at the CpG cg00909706
10. Find potential miRNA targets
Find miRNA targets whose transcription levels are associated with the differential methylation of miRNAs: 1. Hyper-methylation miRNA -> upregulation of targets 2. Hypo-methylation miRNA -> downregulation of targets
library(multiMiR)
library(miRBaseConverter)
miRNA_targets <- find_miRNA_targets(
EpiMixResults = Sample_EpiMixResults_miRNA,
geneExprData = mRNA.data
)datatable(miRNA_targets[1:5, ],
options = list(scrollX = TRUE,
autoWidth = TRUE,
keys = TRUE,
pageLength = 5,
rownames= FALSE,
digits = 3),
rownames = FALSE)Now, the Fold change of gene expression column indicates the change of gene expression for the miRNA targets, where the comparisions were made between patients with different methylation states for the corresponding miRNAs.
