I have the methylation results from 3 different groups (young, adult, old) that I've processed and have used mcomp to merge ratio files from the same group together and did group comparisons (i.e. young_Vs_adult, adult_Vs_old, young_Vs_old).
I'm looking for a program that will help me find different overlapping DMRs between these group VS group comparisons. Basically I want to see what DMRs are shared or not shared between, for example, young_Vs_adult and adult_Vs_old etc.
It was suggested that I use excel to find overlaps using chr, start, end columns but this seems inefficient and I'm hoping there's another program/module/package that's a better fit for this type of information. Any suggestions?

You might specify how the data is formatted. If you have
chr start endcolumns, you can usebedtoolsto perform the interval operations.Do not use excel for bioinformatics purposes, using R you could use GRanges objects to find overlaps between your regions : Finding overlaps between GRanges objects
