Coerce dataframe into methylBase object

[laurahspencer]

I have a dataframe that was extracted from a methylBase object using getData() - it retains the same columns as a methylBase object - I'd now like to convert it back to a methylBase object to use in other MethylKit analyses (e.g. `percMethylation, calculateDiffMeth). Is there a way to do this?

you have to recreate the S4 object that contains the data frame and other required elements properly then you can use it on downstream analysis. https://github.com/al2na/methylKit/blob/master/R/backbone.R#L1449
