DNA methylation is the covalent addition of methyl groups to DNA bases, typically the cytosine of CpG dinucleotides. It is catalyzed by methyltransferase enzymes using a S-adenosyl methionine ...

These are chemical changes to DNA or histone proteins that do not alter the DNA sequence itself but affect how genes are expressed. Examples include DNA methylation and histone acetylation, which can ...

The SPRQ chemistry brings three major benefits: 4x lower DNA input, 33% higher sequencing yield and more accurate direct methylation detection. With only 500 ng of DNA needed for a human whole genome, ...
