The CpGenome Rat Methylated Genomic DNA Control is an ideal control or standard in DNA methylation studies. This methylated 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.
