The present application relates to the field of
biotechnology and molecular diagnosis, and particularly relates to a
methylation detection pretreatment kit and method for protecting
DNA integrity, which can solve the problem that
DNA degradation is serious in traditional
bisulfite conversion technology, and conversion efficiency and
DNA integrity are difficult to be obtained simultaneously, the kit comprises a conversion solution, a protection solution, a combination solution, a desulfonation solution, a washing solution and an
elution solution, the conversion solution contains 2.5-4 mol / L
bisulfite and linear
polyethylene polyamine, the protection solution contains an organic denaturant and a
polyphenol antioxidant, the DNA
melting temperature is reduced by the organic denaturant, the linear
polyethylene polyamine accelerates the
conversion reaction, and the desulfonation
system with low
water activity is combined to complete the
bisulfite conversion under mild conditions of 50-70 DEG C; the present application can realize the conversion efficiency of greater than 99.5% of unmethylated
cytosine, greatly reduce
DNA degradation, significantly improve the long fragment
DNA recovery rate and the detection sensitivity of trace samples, and is suitable for the
methylation detection of
three generations of long read sequencing and clinical trace samples.
