Traditional bisulfite sequencing damages DNA, while enzyme-based alternatives are inconsistent. A novel methylation analysis method, called UMBS-seq, has been published in Nature Communications.

The epigenetic modification, DNA methylation, is characterized by 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) and found in specific genomic locations, most notably regulatory regions such as promoters and enhancers.

Definition: DNA amplification is the laboratory process of making many copies of a selected DNA sequence from a very small starting amount. It allows DNA that would otherwise be too scarce to detect ...
