“Post-Bisulfite” and Higher Sensitivity DNA Library Preparation Technology for Epigenetics-Targeted Next Generation Sequencing Analysis

October 4, 2013 WhatIsEpigenetics

Scientists at Epigentek developed a series of new products for DNA library preparation used in next generation sequencing analysis of epigenetic mechanisms including genome-wide DNA methylation and DNA-protein interaction. Next-gen sequencing requires an initial preparation of a DNA library, but often necessitates a high amount of starting materials to achieve. This makes tumor biopsy and embryonic tissue samples especially challenging to sequence for epigenetic applications. Current commercial offerings from other companies are also rather expensive as well as laborious. These [more…]
