Extension of bacterial rDNA sequencing to concurrent epigenetic analysis and its application to 16S meta-epigenetics
2022-02-16
Abstract excerpt
Although polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and sequencing of the 16S rDNA region has been used in a wide range of scientific fields, it does not provide DNA methylation information. We describe a simple add-on method to investigate 5-methylcytosine residues in the bacterial 16S rDNA region from clinical samples or flora. Single-stranded bacterial DNA after bisulfite conversion was preferentially amplif...
