Description: DNA methylation is an important epigenetic process that
        regulates gene activity through chemical modifications of DNA
        without changing its sequence. 'OpEnCAST' is a plant-specific
        ensemble-based prediction package that identifies 4mC, 5mC and
        6mA methylation sites directly from DNA sequences. It combines
        multiple machine learning algorithms trained on monocot (Oryza
        sp.) and dicot (Arabidopsis sp.) reference models to deliver
        accurate predictions. This methodology is being inspired by the
        ensemble algorithm for methylation prediction developed by Wang
        et al. (2022) <doi:10.1186/s12859-022-04756-1>.
