Overview

About

Maintained by Yuting WangFirst published 2026-03-171 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Tools for conducting epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) and visualizing results. Users provide sample metadata and methylation matrices to run EWAS with linear models, linear mixed-effects models, or Cox models. The package supports downstream visualization, bootstrap validation, enrichment analysis, batch effect correction, and differentially methylated region (DMR) analysis with optional parallel computing. Methods are described in Wang et al. (2025) doi:10.1093/bioadv/vbaf026, Johnson et al. (2007) doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxj037, and Peters et al. (2015) doi:10.1186/1756-8935-8-6.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-easyewas

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-easyEWAS

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-easyEWAS

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
