Whole Genome Methylation Sequencing

Whole Genome Methylation Sequencing

DNA methylation is a type of heritable epigenetic modification which regulates gene expression without altering the DNA sequence. DNA methylation landscapes have been known to be associated with development, ageing and complex diseases including various cancers and neurological disorders.

To investigate DNA methylation patterns, researcher may adopt a whole genome approach or a targeted approach. Whole Genome Methylation Sequencing (WGMS) offers the ability to interrogate genome-wide DNA methylation patterns at single base resolution. Meanwhile, targeted methylation sequencing allows for higher sequencing depth and coverage of enriched genomic regions of interest.

Mirxes Genomics provides both WGMS and targeted methylation sequencing as end-to-end services, enabling high-throughput methylation analysis and robust bioinformatics support for analysis of large datasets.
