Homepage Version(s): 4.0.0

gemBS-rs requires an environment module

In order to use gemBS-rs, you must first load the appropriate environment module: 

module load gembs

RCC has the gemBS-rs DNA Methylation Sequencing Analysis pipeline available on our HPC systems. The version we have available uses the Singularity container system. This does not require any special considerations on the part of the user however containers are helpful as they are useful for promoting reproducible research.
