		Functional Segmentation of the Methylome // Implements FUSE
		(Functional Segmentation of DNA methylation data), a data-
		driven method for identifying spatially coherent DNA
		methylation segments from whole-genome bisulfite sequencing
		(WGBS) count data. The method performs hierarchical clustering
		of CpG sites based on methylated and unmethylated read counts
		across multiple samples and determines the optimal number of
		segments using an information criterion (AIC or BIC). Resulting
		segments represent regions with homogeneous methylation
		profiles across the input cohort while allowing sample-specific
		methylation levels. The package provides functions for
		clustering, model selection, tree cutting, segment-level
		summarization, and visualization. Input can be supplied as
		count matrices or extracted directly from 'BSseq' and 'methrix'
		objects.
