Learn how to investigate methylation in the human genome


DNA methylation is a type of epigenetic mechanism that can have major impacts on regulating gene expression and phenotypic traits, but historically, it has been challenging to study due to the difficulties with intact detection. These resources provide an introduction to the use of nanopore sequencing for the direct, intact detection of DNA methylation in human genomes.

Nanopore sequencing is also the only technology that enables the direct sequencing and analysis of epigenetic modifications in native RNA. To find out more, visit nanoporetech.com/applications/rna-sequencing
