In the past, the route to locus-specific methylation detection resembled more of a brutal molecular biology pentathlon than a microfuge tube. If youâre into that kind of abuse, thatâs cool, but you probably wonât be interested in Zymoâs new OneStep qMethyl⢠Kit. This slick system closes the lid on the old school tool set and brings bisulfite-free, high-throughput, quantitative DNA methylation analysis to your bench.
Bisulfite-Free Yourself
Youâll find no bisulfite in this protocol, unless your lab mate spilled a little bit on it (good thing she brings bagels on Thursdays). At the heart of OneStep qMethyl⢠Kit are procedures that youâre probably familiar with, methyl sensitive restriction digestion, qPCR, and a whole lot of optimization (compliments of Zymo of course). As the name implies, the whole process has been streamlined down to a single step that takes place in one tubeâŚjust add DNA sample and primers to the reaction mix, fire up the qPCR machine and youâre ready to go.
DNAm Analysis OneSteps Up
Donât be fooled by the simplified OneStep qMethyl⢠protocol. The kit has the flexibility of a yoga master, enabling you to:
- Study one locus in a bunch of samples, or
- Screen several loci in a single sample
This makes the OneStep qMethylâ˘Â approach a super convenient tool for hungry researchers validating DNAm results from massive sequencing runs or for those deep in biomarker validation mode that need a high-throughput method for screening biological samples quickly and efficiently.
