摘要: Pyrosequencing is a "sequencing by synthesis" technique which can be used to quantify DNA methylation at specific CpG sites within the target region of interest. Biotin labelled polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products form template for base-pair nucleotide incorporation causing light emitting cascade resulting in formation pyrogram and calculation percentage each site. Prior pyrosequencing, it essential bisulphite-convert sample then perform locus-specific PCR One primers needs biotinylated separate sequencing primer required pyrosequencing itself.
