Universal
Methylated DNA Standard & Control Primers
Description
The Universal Methylated DNA Standard includes
enzymatically methylated DNA together with a specially-designed
primer set to be used in conjunction with Zymo Research’s
EZ DNA Methylation™, EZ DNA Methylation-Gold™,
and EZ DNA Methylation-Direct™ Kits to assess
the efficiency of bisulfite-mediated conversion of DNA. Central
to this, is the pUC19 DNA that was isolated from a methylation-negative
strain of bacteria (dam-, dcm-) prior to its enzymatic
modification with Sss I methylase (EC 2.1.1.73). The DNA is methylated
at cytosine positions comprising CG dinucleotides. The primer set
herein has been designed to amplify a fragment of the supplied pUC19
DNA following bisulfite treatment. The methylated cytosines comprising
CG dinucleotides remain unconverted following bisulfite treatment,
whereas nonmethylated cytosines
are converted into uracil and detected
as thymine following PCR.
