A streamlined method for analysing genome-wide DNA methylation patterns from low amounts of FFPE DNA
31 Aug 2017
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tumor samples are a major source of DNA from patients in cancer research. However, FFPE is a challenging material to work with due to macromolecular fragmentation and nucleic acid crosslinking. FFPE tissue particularly possesses challenges for methylation analysis and for preparing sequencing-based libraries relying on bisulfite conversion. Successful bisulfite...
