We apply a known algorithm for computing exactly inequalities between Beta distributions to
assess whether a given position in a genome is differentially methylated across samples.
We discuss the advantages brought by the adoption of this solution with respect to two
approximations (Fisher's test and Z score). The same formalism presented here can be
applied in a similar way to variant calling.
