Investigating methylation in the human genome with Oxford Nanopore
Complete the form below to access this guide to sequencing epigenetic modifications.
Epigenetics is the study of chemical modifications that can alter phenotype without altering nucleotide sequence. The most well-characterized and widely studied epigenetic modification in mammalian genomes, and especially in humans, is 5-methylcytosine (5mC) DNA methylation – the addition of a methyl group to a cytosine nucleotide.
Download this guide to learn how to sequence DNA methylation directly from human genomes – without the need for PCR or additional library preparation steps.
