EpiRADseq
Double-Digest Restriction Site_Associated DNA Marker Generation with a Methylation-Sensitive Restriction Enzyme
EpiRADseq is similar to the widely used double-digest RAD-seq method (ddRADseq), except that it uses an MSRE Schield et al., 2016). DNA samples are digested with PstI and HpaII followed by purification. Double-stranded sequencing adapters with unique barcodes are ligated to each sample. Size-selected libraries are then amplified with indexed primers.
Advantages:
- Does not need a reference genome
Disadvantages:
- Measures a subset of methylation sites
Reagents:
