Direct Bisulfite Sequencing and Methylation Specific PCR to Detect Methylation of p15INK4b and F7 genes in Coronary Artery Disease Patients
Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have identified genetic variants contributing to the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) at the chromosome 9p21 locus. The chromosome 9p21 is an important susceptibility locus for several multifactorial diseases like ischemic stroke, aortic aneurysm, type 2 diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease (CAD). F7 gene because of its role in activating the ...
متن کاملSingle-cell, locus-specific bisulfite sequencing (SLBS) for direct detection of epimutations in DNA methylation patterns
Stochastic epigenetic changes drive biological processes, such as development, aging and disease. Yet, epigenetic information is typically collected from millions of cells, thereby precluding a more precise understanding of cell-to-cell variability and the pathogenic history of epimutations. Here we present a novel procedure for directly detecting epimutations in DNA methylation patterns using ...
متن کاملBiQ Analyzer HT: locus-specific analysis of DNA methylation by high-throughput bisulfite sequencing
Bisulfite sequencing is a widely used method for measuring DNA methylation in eukaryotic genomes. The assay provides single-base pair resolution and, given sufficient sequencing depth, its quantitative accuracy is excellent. High-throughput sequencing of bisulfite-converted DNA can be applied either genome wide or targeted to a defined set of genomic loci (e.g. using locus-specific PCR primers ...
متن کاملAn Improved COCOMO based Model to Estimate the Effort of Software Projects
One of important aspects of software projects is estimating the cost and time required to develop projects. Nowadays, this issue has become one of the key concerns of project managers. Accurate estimation of essential effort to produce and develop software is heavily effective on success or failure of software projects and it is highly regarded as a vital factor. Failure to achieve convincing a...
متن کاملDNA ligase-based strategy for quantifying heterogeneous DNA methylation without sequencing.
BACKGROUND DNA methylation is a potential source of disease biomarkers. Typically, methylation levels are measured at individual cytosine/guanine (CpG) sites or over a short region of interest. However, regions of interest often show heterogeneous methylation comprising multiple patterns of methylation (epialleles) on individual DNA strands. Heterogeneous methylation is largely ignored because ...
