High-speed conversion of cytosine to uracil in bisulfite genomic sequencing analysis of DNA methylation.
Bisulfite genomic sequencing is a widely used technique for analyzing cytosine-methylation of DNA. By treating DNA with bisulfite, cytosine residues are deaminated to uracil, while leaving 5-methylcytosine largely intact. Subsequent PCR and nucleotide sequence analysis permit unequivocal determination of the methylation status at cytosine residues. A major caveat associated with the currently p...
متن کاملMethPrimer: designing primers for methylation PCRs
MOTIVATION DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism of gene regulation. Bisulfite- conversion-based PCR methods, such as bisulfite sequencing PCR (BSP) and methylation specific PCR (MSP), remain the most commonly used techniques for methylation mapping. Existing primer design programs developed for standard PCR cannot handle primer design for bisulfite-conversion-based PCRs due to changes in ...
متن کاملAmplicon: software for designing PCR primers on aligned DNA sequences
SUMMARY Amplicon is a program for designing PCR primers on aligned groups of DNA sequences. The most important application for Amplicon is the design of 'group-specific' PCR primer sets that amplify a DNA region from a given taxonomic group but do not amplify orthologous regions from other taxonomic groups. AVAILABILITY Amplicon is freely available as a script that will run on any platform wi...
متن کاملA simple method for estimating global DNA methylation using bisulfite PCR of repetitive DNA elements.
We report a method for studying global DNA methylation based on using bisulfite treatment of DNA and simultaneous PCR of multiple DNA repetitive elements, such as Alu elements and long interspersed nucleotide elements (LINE). The PCR product, which represents a pool of approximately 15 000 genomic loci, could be used for direct sequencing, selective restriction digestion or pyrosequencing, in o...
متن کاملControl of carry-over contamination for PCR-based DNA methylation quantification using bisulfite treated DNA
In this study, we adapted the well known uracil DNA glycosylase (UNG) carry-over prevention system for PCR, and applied it to the analysis of DNA methylation based on sodium bisulfite conversion. As sodium bisulfite treatment converts unmethylated cytosine bases into uracil residues, bisulfite treated DNA is sensitive to UNG treatment. Therefore, UNG cannot be used for carry-over prevention of ...
