MBDCap-Seq/MethylCap-Seq/MBD-Seq/MBDCap/MiGS

Methyl-CpG binding domain-based capture and sequencing (MethylCap , MBD-Seq , MBDCap-Seq , MBDCap) or MBD-isolated genome sequencing (MiGS ), uses proteins to capture methylated DNA in the genome. Genomic DNA is first sonicated and incubated with tagged MBD proteins that can bind methylated cytosines. The protein-DNA complex is then precipitated with antibody-conjugated beads that are specific to the protein tag. Deep sequencing provides greater genome coverage, representing the majority of MBD-bound methylated DNA.
