Bisulfite Based
Southern Blot Hybridization1978
-One of the older techniques for sequencing (1978), not as widely used any more due to thedevelopment of PCR and other cheap/fast sequencing techniques, not outdated but just not aswidely employed
Process:• Step 1 use restriction enzymes to cut DNA• Step 2 electrophoresis to separate DNA fragments by size• Step 3 transfer DNA fragments from gel to a membrane• Step 4 hybridize radiolabeled probe to membrane• Step 5 sample is washed to remove extraneous radio probes
Advantages:• Cheap• simple• 1 probe can detect multiple similar sequences • well suited for analyzing long stretches of DNA
Disadvantages• Requires a large amount of DNA• Time consuming • labor intensive • limited sensitivity
Southern Blot Hybridization1978

Bisulfite Sequencing1992
Process:• Step 1 melt (denature) DNA to separate strands • Step 2 treat with sodium bisulfate• Step 3 amplify converted DNA with PCR • Step 4 Clone PCR product • Step 5 Sequence
-Treatment of DNA with sodium bisulfate to convert non methylated cytosines into uracil andleaving 5-methylcytosine untouched in order to determine methylation percentage
Advantages• Accurate • Does not require a lot of DNA• cheap • simple
Bisulfite Sequencing
Disadvantages• possible DNA degradation/damage in chemical treatment • possible incomplete conversion of DNA • labor intensive
COBRA/ Bio-COBRA(Combined Bisulfite Restriction Analysis)
-Builds upon bisulfite restriction analysis with the introduction of restriction enzymes andpolyacrylamide electrophoresis
Process:• Step 1 melt (denature) DNA to separate strands • Step 2 treat with sodium bisulfate• Step 3 amplify converted DNA with PCR • Step 4 Clone PCR product • Step 5 treat PCR product with restriction enzymes (cleaves only methylated CpG's) (BstU1)• Step 6 fragments separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis • Step 7 determine methylation percentage
COBRA/ Bio-COBRA(Combined Bisulfite Restriction Analysis)
Advantages:• simple• quick• cheap• needs only small amount of DNA• methylation percentages can be quantified
Disadvantages• limited to restriction targets • requires total chemical modification of DNA
COBRA/ Bio-COBRA(Combined Bisulfite Restriction Analysis)Bio COBRA: a variation of COBRA in which theelectrophoresis step is conducted in microfluidics chips,allowing for the use of small amounts of liquid in the systems.
• Very sensitive • Extremely fast • Accurate • Quantitative• Small footprint
COBRA and Bio COBRA are both extremely useful in the detection and screening of methylationstates of biomarkers for cancer.
• TLX3 methylation in bladder cancer• TWIST2 inactivation in leukemia• hLHX6-HMR methylation in cervical cancer• CHFR methylation in gastric cancer
