Description: Classification of pediatric tumors into biologically
        defined subtypes is challenging and multifaceted approaches are
        needed. For this aim, we developed a diagnostic classifier
        based on DNA methylation profiles. We offer MethPed as an
        easy-to-use toolbox that allows researchers and clinical
        diagnosticians to test single samples as well as large cohorts
        for subclass prediction of pediatric brain tumors.  The current
        version of MethPed can classify the following tumor
        diagnoses/subgroups: Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG),
        Ependymoma, Embryonal tumors with multilayered rosettes (ETMR),
        Glioblastoma (GBM), Medulloblastoma (MB) - Group 3 (MB_Gr3),
        Group 4 (MB_Gr3), Group WNT (MB_WNT), Group SHH (MB_SHH) and
        Pilocytic Astrocytoma (PiloAstro).
