The CpGenome Rat Methylated and Unmethylated Genomic DNA Standard Set contains one vial of unmethylated DNA and one vial of methylated DNA generated from the same genomic DNA source. The CpGenome Rat Unmethylated Genomic DNA Standard is generated using multiple strand displacement amplification of rat genomic DNA using Phi29 DNA polymerase. This process results in a DNA standard which contains >= 95% unmethylated cytosines across the genome in both heterochromatic and euchromatic regions. The CpGenome Rat Methylated Genomic DNA Standard is generated using multiple strand displacement amplification of rat genomic DNA using Phi29 DNA polymerase followed by a treatment with a CpG Methylase. This process results in a DNA standard which contains >= 95% methylated cytosines across the genome in both heterochromatic and euchromatic regions.
Application: Useful as a control or standard for variety of epigenomic assays such as methylated or unmethylated DNA enrichment, bisulfite conversion or melt curve analysis to determine the status of global or locus- specific DNA methylation.
