Whole genome bisulfite sequencing is a next-generation sequencing technology used to determine the DNA methylation status of single cytosines by treating the DNA with sodium bisulfite before high-throughput DNA sequencing.

Whole Genome Bisulfite Sequencing is used to investigate DNA methylation patterns to base granularity. A bisulfite treatment converts cytosines into uracils, but leaves methylated cytosines unchanged.

Description: Bisulfite sequencing (BS-Seq) or whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) is a well-established protocol to detect methylated cytosines in genomic DNA . In this method, genomic DNA is treated with sodium bisulfite and then sequenced, providing single-base resolution of methylated cytosines in the genome.

Jul 17, 2019 · Whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS), with its ability to interrogate methylation status at single CpG site resolution epigenome-wide, is a powerful technique for use in...

Whole Genome Bisulfite Sequencing (WGBS) is a method that utilizes bisulfite treatment to convert unmethylated cytosines (C) in the genome, distinguishing methylated from unmethylated cytosines, coupled with high-throughput sequencing technology to determine methylation status at CpG/CHG/CHH sites.

Jul 16, 2024 · Novogene provides whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) to efficiently identify methylated cytosines on a genome-wide scale with a single nucleotide resolution.

Mar 15, 2018 · Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) is becoming an increasingly accessible technique, used widely for both fundamental and disease-oriented research. Library preparation methods benefit from a variety of available …

Sep 26, 2013 · Here we describe a detailed protocol for tagmentation-based WGBS (T-WGBS) and demonstrate its reliability in comparison with conventional WGBS. In T-WGBS, a hyperactive Tn 5 transposase...

Testing DNA methylation throughout the genome is possible using whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS), but the high costs associated with the assay have made it impractical for studies involving more than limited numbers of samples.

Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) using next-generation sequencing technologies is currently considered the gold standard for a comprehensive and quantitative analysis of DNA methylation throughout the genome.
