How does bisulfite sequencing work?

Bisulfite sequencing relies on the conversion of every single unmethylated cytosine residue to uracil. If conversion is incomplete, the subsequent analysis will incorrectly interpret the unconverted unmethylated cytosines as methylated cytosines, resulting in false positive results for methylation.

What happened to sAviOr StarCraft?

In 2010, it was discovered that he was involved in the Match Fixing Scandal, and was permanently banned from progaming by KeSPA. sAviOr’s last professional match would take place in February 2010.

What does methylation do?

DNA methylation is essential for silencing retroviral elements, regulating tissue-specific gene expression, genomic imprinting, and X chromosome inactivation. Importantly, DNA methylation in different genomic regions may exert different influences on gene activities based on the underlying genetic sequence.

Is bisulfite sequencing expensive?

Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing is currently the most expensive method of global methylation assay, but it provides many advantages while overcoming challenges present in pyrosequencing.

How long does it take to correct methylation?

Methylation defects take three to four months to correct, and longer in people with the blood type A. The protocols do not correct the genetic defect, and thus need to be taken indefinitely. Multi-vitamins, which typically contain folic acid, are also harmful to those who are undermethylated.
