General description

CpGenome Universal Methylated DNA is enzymatically methylated human male genomic DNA. This product is intended for use with the CpGenome DNA Modification Kit (S7820) or with amplification primers. It can be used as a methylation-positive control for gene methylation studies.

Materials Provided:

Each vial contains 10 micrograms (100 μl) of human genomic DNA at a concentration of 0.1 μg/μl. Note: this DNA must first be bisulfite modified (S7820) to use a primer that is specific for the methylated form of the gene of interest.

Validation:

Methylation-specific PCR (MSP) was performed on the DNA prior to and post-enzymatic methylation. Sets of primers from the CpG WIZ p15 and E-cadherin Amplification Kits were used in the assay. A set of primers designed to anneal to unmethylated DNA and a second set designed to anneal to methylated sequences were used from each kit. The methylated primer sets generated products only after the DNA was methylated.

Physical form

Liquid in TE (10mM Tris-HCL, 0.1mM EDTA) with no preservatives.

Storage and Stability

Recommended Storage: -15°C to -25°C, in aliquots, protected from freeze-thaws for up to two years from date of receipt. Do not freeze and thaw the same -20°C aliquot more than 3X for best results. Multiple freeze thaws can fragment DNA. Storage at -70°C can be used for longer term storage if necessary; minimize multiple freeze thaws for best results.

Heterogeneous DNA methylation leads to difficulties in accurate detection and quantification of methylation. Methylation-sensitive high resolution melting (MS-HRM) is unique among regularly used methods for DNA methylation analysis in that heterogeneous methylation can be readily identified, although not quantified, by
