HiI'm starting to work whit 5' cytidine on plants. I want to know if it's possible to prepare a stock solution to store it at -20C. In that conditions the drug lose the desmetilant capacity?I've wrote ... [阅读全文]
Hey
I am analyzing the methylation status of two regions: one ecompasses 500bp the other is around 800bp. Could I just designed primers at flanking sites and amply these two regions? I found usually o ... [阅读全文]
I am having huge problems with bisulfite PCR. Southern analysis indicates that my DNA is unmethylated. My first bisulfite treatment also indicated that the DNA was unmethylated. Subsequent treatments ... [阅读全文]

I'm looking for a methode to demethyle DNA in vivo during more than 5 days . All I've read about 5-aza-CdT is for maximum 5 days. Why ?
Is there another drug and if yes how does it work ?

CpG islands can be variable in length. Anyone know by what percentage range they can typically vary? I can't find much of any herlp on Google.
Cheers

Hi
Does enzyme digestion before bisulfite treatment make a big difference - i am having a few problems with incomplete conversion.
If so can anyone reccomend me a good 'general' enzyme to use - I know ... [阅读全文]
Hi. I am a new member of this forum. Currently I am trying to look for some novel methylated gene in NPC cell line. What method should I start with? Pls help. Thank you.

Hi there
Is anyone know how short of the CpG island can be? let say if the CG sequence of about 30bp is that possible the short CpG sequence be methylated?
Thanks you!

Quick question as I have read all sorts of views on this before:
How long can bisufite-treated DNA be stored in -80℃ freezer before it degrades. Is there any reason why it should degrade quicker than ... [阅读全文]
