  • Bisulfite sequencing question

    Hi all,

    A (may be) stupid question about bisulfite sequencing: Do we in general expect CpGs to be equally methylated on both strands? For example, I am looking at the processed data from this GEO entry: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/que...acc=GSM2439648

    It looks like the methylation levels of CpGs belonging to the same pair but at different strands are very different (compare columns 4 and 8 below), while the sequencing coverage looks good. How to interpret this?

    Thanks!

    Yes, most methylation is symmetric, I haven't a clue why they're always getting such large differences between strands.

      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...
