The OneStep qMethyl Lite Kit provides a simple, straightforward, and bisulfite-free procedure for rapid, locus-specific DNA methylation assessment via the selective amplification of a methylated region of DNA. This is accomplished by splitting any DNA to be tested into two parts: a “Test Reaction” and a “Reference Reaction”. DNA in the Test Reaction is digested with Methylation Sensitive Restriction Enzymes (MSREs) while DNA in the Reference Reaction is not. The “Lite” version allows real-time PCR to be performed with other fluorescent dyes or molecular probes of the researcher’s choosing.
