  • Detection of differentially methylated regions (DMRs)

    metilene: Fast and sensitive calling of differentially methylated regions from bisulfite sequencing data

    The detection of differentially methylated regions (DMRs) is a necessary prerequisite for characterizing different epigenetic states. We present a novel program, metilene, to identify DMRs within whole genome and targeted sequencing data with unrivaled specificity and sensitivity. A binary segmentation algorithm combined with a two-dimensional statistical test allows to detect DMRs in large methylation experiments with multiple groups of samples in minutes rather than days using off-the-shelf hardware. metilene outperforms other state-if-the-art tools for low coverage data, and can estimate missing data. Hence, metilene is a versatile tool to study the effect of epigenetic modifications in differentiation/development, tumorigenesis and systems biology on a global, genome-wide level. Whether in the framework of international consortia with dozens samples per group, or even without biological replicates, it produces highly significant and reliable results.

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
