DNA Methylation analyses
LUMA (LUminometric Methylation Assay)
- Method for global DNA methylation analysis.
- Quantification of the number of restriction enzyme cuts, based on methylation sensitivity.
- Rapid & quantitative determination of methylation level.
- No information about the location or repartition of DNA methylation.
MeDIP (Methylated DNA ImmunoPrécipitation)
-
Enrichment of fragmented genomic DNA using an antibody specific for 5mC
-
Low CpG dinucleotide density may not be accurately analyzed by MeDIP.
-
5mC antibodies are capable of discrimination between 5-hmC and 5-mC.
Bisulfite Pyrosequencing
-
Analysis & quantification of the methylation degree of several CpG positions in close proximity.
-
Bisulfite-based methods cannot differentiate 5-mC and 5-hmC.
Histones Marks analyses
CUT & RUN (Cleavage Under Targets & Release Using Nuclease)
-
Powerful and versatile technique used for probing protein-DNA interactions within the natural chromatin context of the cell
-
CUT&RUN provides a rapid, robust with low cell number assay
-
Free from formaldehyde cross-linking, chromatin fragmentation, and immunoprecipitation, making it a more efficient method for identifying target genes.
