Calling methylation in the human genome with PCR-free nanopore sequencing

Overview

Methylation plays a fundamental role in regulating gene expression; aberrant methylation patterns are strongly associated with numerous diseases, such as cancer and developmental disorders. With PCR-free nanopore sequencing of native DNA, methylation can be directly detected at single-nucleotide resolution. This end-to-end workflow provides a simple solution for genome-wide methylation calling from a human blood research sample.
