Whole-genome methylome (EM-seq)

Overview

This service provides deep sequence data for DNA methylation analysis in single-base resolution. Users submit genomic DNA, which SignAC will convert to libraries using the New England Biolab NEBNext® Enzymatic Methyl-seq Kit (E7120) to be sequenced with NovaSeq6000. FASTQ data will be delivered as the product.

  • The service name specified in our regulations:
    New England Biolab社EM-seqキットとイルミナ社NovaSeqによるゲノムDNAメチル化解析

Sample submission guidelines

Genomic DNA
  • Volume: minimum 8 µl     
  • Total amount: minimum 150 ng, recommended ~450 ng
  • Concentration: minimum 5 ng/µl     
  • Please quantify your sample using a Qubit fluorometer.
  • The presence of contaminants may adversely affect library preparation.
  • Fragmentation conditions may vary depending on the genomic DNA length. Consider our long-read DNA quality-control service.
  • Please submit your samples in 1.5 ml tubes. We recommend using DNA low-bind tubes.
  • Please submit an Excel file with the sample name (information written on the tube) and concentration through the Redmine system.
  • Add a serial number to the sample name and write the number on the tube cap and/or wall as well.
  • As a general rule, proceed with library preparation based on the concentration specified by each individual.
  • Please write your name and the Redmine ticket number on your sample tube.
