description DNA methylation is an important epigenetic regulator that plays crucial roles in various biological processes. Recent developments in experimental approaches and dramatic expansion of sequencing capacities have imposed new challenges in the analysis of large-scale, cross-species DNA methylation data. Hence, user-friendly toolkits with high usability and performance are in urgent need. In this work, we present Msuite2, an easy-to-use, all-in-one, and universal toolkit for DNA methylation data analysis and visualization with high flexibility, usability, and performance. Msuite2 is among the fastest tools in read alignment (in particular, it runs as much as 5x faster than its predecessor, Msuite1) with low computing resource usage. In addition, Msuite2 shows both balanced and high performance in terms of mapping efficiency and accuracy, demonstrating high potential to facilitate the investigation and application of large-scale DNA methylation analysis in various biomedical studies.
