medip analysis

medip analysis - DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark that plays a crucial role in many biological processes, such as embryonic development, gene regulation and disease genesis. The 5-methylcytosine (5mC) is a common methylated form of the DNA base cytosine. The combination of different pretreatment methods followed by different subsequent molecular biology techniques, such as DNA microarrays and next-generation sequencing (NGS), makes DNA methylation mapping feasible throughout the whole genome.
