Epigenetics

Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene expression not encoded in DNA. Changes in epigenetic states play vital roles in development and disease. Efficient approaches to decode the epigenome and epitranscriptome drive fundamental knowledge, diagnostics, and therapeutics. NEB has applied its expertise in enzymology to offer innovative approaches for epigenetic analyses that address challenges with conventional methods.

 

Tools for epigenetics discovery and development

Our epigenetics solutions simplify analyses of DNA methylation, hydroxymethylation, the epitranscriptome, chromatin accessibility, and chromatin interactions. Enzymatic methyl conversion enables superior mapping of DNA methylation or hydroxymethylation at single nucleotide resolution. NEBNext® library preparation workflows, and DNA polymerases optimized for GC-rich sequences, streamline next generation sequencing methylome analysis. EpiMark® enrichment kits efficiently profile genomes for relative abundance of methylated DNA or RNA. Liquid chromatography mass spectrometry analysis of nucleotide modifications is streamlined using our ribonucleases (RNases) and Nucleoside Digestion Mix. Sequence-specific digests with isoschizomer pairs offer simplified detection of DNA methylation at specific loci. Methylated DNA controls at specific sites can be generated with DNA methyltransferases. Chromatin interactions and accessibility can be explored in novel ways with next generation sequencing methods.
