Methylation Controls
Scientific Overview
EpigenDx manufactures methylated genomic DNA controls. They are intended to serve as positive or negative controls in DNA methylation analysis, and are available for human, mouse, rat, and monkey DNA methylation analysis assays.
Our highly methylated DNA is in vitro enzymatically methylated genomic DNA with greater than 85% methylation. Our low methylated DNA is chemically and enzymatically treated with lower than 5% methylation. They are tested on numerous gene-specific and global methylation assays using pyrosequencing technology.
Methylation Control Data
Control DNAs are useful in the study of methylation in genomic DNA and epigenomic studies. They can be used in a variety of methods to act as comparisons to sample DNA. Bisulfite conversion techniques, methyl-DNA immunoprecipitation (Me-DIP), methyl-CpG binding domain-based (MBDCap) proteins, methylation-specific PCR (MSP), and real-time PCR all have positive and negative methylation control DNA available.
Prior to proceeding with downstream studies, DNA and RNA quantification, also known as nucleic acid quantification, is typically conducted to establish the average concentration of DNA or RNA in a sample.

Experts in DNA Methylation
CpG Dinucleotides
The human genome contains ∼30,000 CpG islands (CGIs), long stretches (0.5–2 kb) of DNA with unusually elevated levels of CpG dinucleotides. In mammalian genomes, DNA methylation occurs at CpG dinucleotides and is a dynamic epigenetic control mechanism. At these locations, methylated CpG dinucleotides can cause a high rate of C to T substitution. It is well known that methylated CpG sites have a high mutation rate.
Whole-Genome Bisulfite Sequencing (WGBS)
Bisulfite sequencing (BS-Seq), also known as whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS), is a well-known method for detecting methylated cytosines in genomic DNA. Studies have shown that WGBS can be used to detect abnormal methylation in cancers such as acute promyelocytic leukemia, gastric cancer, and others by screening for specific hyper-methylated suppressor genes.
DNA Methyltransferase
DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) are a group of “writer” enzymes that add a methyl group to the carbon atom number five (C5) of cytosine to cause DNA methylation. EpigenDx’s Stem Cell Panel covers 790 CpG sites within 33 human genes, including pluripotency-associated genes, DNA methyltransferases, imprinted genes, genes involved in X-chromosome inactivation, and cell differentiation regulators.
