Problems solved by technology

While the normal function of the mammalian genome clearly depends on genomic methylation patterns, the abnormalities of genomic methylation patterns found in human disease have been difficult to discern because of the lack of methods for the methylation profiling of the entire genome.

Abstract

This invention provides methods of derivatizing a double-stranded DNA comprising contacting double-stranded DNA with a CpG methyltransferase and an s-adenosylmethionine analog. This invention also provides methods of sequencing DNA to determine methylation patterns. This invention also provides neobases and methods of sequencing for methylation patterns using neobases.

Description

[0001]Throughout this application, various publications are referenced in parentheses. Full citations for these references may be found at the end of the specification immediately preceding the claims. The disclosures of these publications in their entireties are hereby incorporated by reference into this application to more fully describe the state of the art to which this invention pertains.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The mammalian genome contains ˜28 million CpG sites, about 60% of which are methylated at the 5 position of the cytosine (Rollins et al., 2006). Methylation of relatively CpG-rich promoters causes very strong transcriptional repression (Stein et al., 1982, Lorincz et al., 2002); promoter methylation largely restricted to imprinted genes, transposon promoters, and to CpG islands on the inactive X chromosome. Many experiments have demonstrated faithful inheritance of methylation patterns over many cell divisions in somatic cells (Wigler et al., 1981; Lorincz et al...
