Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) and Enzymatic Methylation (EM-seq) are the methods of choice for obtaining a comprehensive DNA methylation profiling, evaluating the methylation patterns of nearly every CpG site of the entire genome. By comparing the proportion of unconverted and converted cytosines at the same location, the methylation levels are determined with accuracy. Genome-wide methylation sequencing (WGBS and EM-seq) provides deep insights into gene regulation, allowing identification of novel epigenetic markers and targets for disease.

In-depth DNA methylation analysis

  • Very powerful solution for genome-wide biomarker discovery compatible with low input and highly fragmented cfDNA and FFPE samples
  • Single-nucleotide resolution
  • Evaluation of the methylation status of nearly every CpG sites of the entire genome
  • Detection of global methylation patterns including outside of CpG islands and in low-CpG-density regions
  • Identification of regions or even loci with differential methylation between groups using bioinformatics tools
  • Identification of methylation pattern/signature predictive and discriminating different groups with Data Mining approach
  • Providing a better understanding of development and disease

Comprehensive end-to-end service

  • From DNA QC to sequencing raw data
  • A dedicated scientist driving your project with high touch communication
  • High-quality bioinformatic support (on request) to assist you with data analysis

    Development and epigenetic plasticity of murine Müller glia.
    Dvoriantchikova G, Seemungal RJ, Ivanov D
    The ability to regenerate the entire retina and restore lost sight after injury is found in some species and relies mostly on the epigenetic plasticity of Müller glia. To understand the role of mammalian Müller glia as a source of progenitors for retinal regeneration, we investigated changes in gene expres...

    The epigenetic basis for the impaired ability of adult murine retinal pigment epithelium cells to regenerate retinal tissue.
    Dvoriantchikova G, Seemungal RJ, Ivanov D
    The epigenetic plasticity of amphibian retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) allows them to regenerate the entire retina, a trait known to be absent in mammals. In this study, we investigated the epigenetic plasticity of adult murine RPE to identify possible mechanisms that prevent mammalian RPE from regenerating retinal...
