Why the bumphunter function gives the output with identical start and end genomic regions from the dataset? #28

Description

@JEBUNNAHAR

Hi everyone,
I am using bumphunter function from minfi package for patients (Healthy donors and treatments ) dataset to find DMRs. Where i design contrasts based on the individual patient's methylation level at different time points and After running the BumpHunter function, I get an output with genomic regions that start and end in the same genomic region (or nucleotide). I don't understand why the bumphunter function chooses only one cluster from my dataset?

I am running the analysis with B=100 for testing purposes.

See my code below.
HD2_0vs22h_0ng <- as.factor( c("HD2.0h.0ng", "HD2.22h.0ng"))

Mm_HD2_0vs22h_0ng <- model.matrix(~HD2_0vs22h_0ng) # The design matrix

Bumps1 <- minfi::bumphunter(NTFlt[ ,c(30,34)], design = Mm_HD2_0vs22h_0ng, cutoff = c(-3,3), cluster= Clus_chr_table, B=100,type="M")

head(bumpsTable1, n=10)

This is the output. Please note the start and end regions.
