DNA Methylation Detection: Bisulfite Genomic Sequencing Analysis
Open accessAbstract
DNA methylation, which most commonly occurs at the C5 position of cytosines within CpG dinucleotides, plays a pivotal role in many biological procedures such as gene expression, embryonic development, cellular proliferation, differentiation, and chromosome stability. Aberrant DNA methylation is often associated with loss of DNA homeostasis and genomic instability leading to the development of human diseases such as cancer. The importance of DNA methylation creates an urgent demand for effective methods with high sensitivity and reliability to explore innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Bisulfite genomic sequencing developed by Frommer and colleagues was recognized as a revolution in DNA methylation analysis based on conversion of genomic DNA by using sodium bisulfite. Besides various merits of the bisulfite genomic sequencing method such as being highly qualitative and quantitative, it serves as a fundamental principle to many derived methods to better interpret the mystery of DNA methylation. Here, we present a protocol currently frequently used in our laboratory that has proven to yield optimal outcomes. We also discuss the potential technical problems and troubleshooting notes for a variety of applications in this field.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
