| Product Name: | DNA Methylation Kit |
| Product Overview: | DNA Methylation Kit is designed to methylate DNA from various samples. |
| Description: | DNA methylation is a naturally occurring event in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. In prokaryotes DNA methylation provides a way to protect host DNA from digestion by restriction endonucleases that are designed to eliminate foreign DNA, and in higher eukaryotes DNA methylation functions in the regulation/control of gene expression. It has been demonstrated that aberrant DNA methylation is a widespread phenomenon in cancer and may be among the earliest changes to occur during oncogenesis. DNA methylation has also been shown to play a central role in gene imprinting, embryonic development, X-chromosome gene silencing, and cell cycle regulation. In many plants and animals, DNA methylation consists of the addition of a methyl group to the fifth carbon position of the cytosine pyrimidine ring via a methyltransferase enzyme. The majority of DNA methylation in mammals occurs in 5"-CpG-3" dinucleotides, but other methylation patterns do exist. In fact, about 80 percent of all 5"-CpG-3" dinucleotides in mammalian genomes are found to be methylated, whereas the majority of the twenty percent that remain unmethylated are within promoters or in the first exons of genes. |
| Applications: | The DNA Methylation Kit features simple and reliable DNA bisulfite conversion directly from blood, tissue, and cells without the prerequisite for DNA purification. The increased sensitivity of this kit makes it possible to amplify bisulfite converted DNA from as few as 10 cells or 50 pg DNA. DNA denaturation and bisulfite conversion processes are combined into a single step. This methylation kit streamlines the three step process of bisulfite conversion of non-methylated cytosine in DNA into uracil. In addition the methylation kit use innovative in-column desulphonation technology that eliminates otherwise cumbersome DNA precipitation steps while ensuring researchers consistent results every time. The kit has been designed to minimize template degradation, loss of DNA during treatment and clean-up, and to provide complete conversion of unmethylated cytosines. Recovered DNA is ideal for PCR amplification for downstream analyses including restriction endonuclease digestion, sequencing, microarrays, etc. |
