摘要: Unlike other methods to assess methylation, whole-genome shotgun bisulfite sequencing is used generate quantitative genome-wide methylation profiles at single-nucleotide resolution. As described in this unit, method allows for the measurement of each cytosine base by treatment genomic DNA with sodium followed and alignment reads a reference genome. Curr. Protoc. Mol.
