Storage Conditions and Stability of Global DNA Methylation in Placental Tissue
1 Jun 2013
Abstract excerpt
AIM: The placenta is an informative and easily available tissue for many epidemiological studies. We analyzed the extent to which storage delay affects DNA methylation. MATERIAL & METHODS: Biopsies from two placentas were sequentially stored at -80°C after standing at room temperature for 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 6 h and 24 h. Global DNA methylation was measured by bisulfite pyrosequencing of repetitive elements and the...
