\title{
Handle Illumina methylation data
}
\description{
This package contains a class structure for handling methylation data
from Illumina as well as utility functions for loading the data from
files generated by Illumina.  Normalization that attempts to correct for
dye bias is also included.

Important data classes include: \code{\linkS4class{MethyLumiSet}} and
\code{\linkS4class{MethyLumiQC}}, both of which are subsets of the
\code{\linkS4class{MethyLumi}} class, which is a subset of the
\code{\linkS4class{eSet}} class.

A worked example of the use of the package can be found by typing:
\code{openVignette()}.

A full listing of the available documentation can be obtained by typing
\code{help.start()} and selecting \code{methylumi} from the \code{Packages}
link or by typing \code{library(help="methylumi")}.
