Epigenetic analysis

Epigenetics is the study of heritable phenotypic changes that do not involve alteration of the DNA sequence. High-resolution analysis techniques boost the field, where many human diseases are now known to have an epigenetic component. We offer third generation sequencing solutions (Nanopore sequencing).

Advantages (third generation sequencing):

• Simultaneous detection of nucleotide sequence and DNA or RNA base modifications
• No protocol adaptations, chemical conversion, or additional sequencing required

Applications:

• Role of epigenetic modifications in disease
• Potential prognostic and diagnostic indicators
• Epigenetic modifications in microbial communities
