## New pipelines & proposals

### New pipeline repositories

- [nf-core/methylarray](https://nf-co.re/methylarray) _(in development)_ — Process methylation data from Illumina arrays. Pre-processing, quality checks, confounder check and DMPs (differentially methylated positions) and DMRs (differentially methylated regions).
