This video demonstrates the procedure of bisulfite modification of genomic DNA from gastrointestinal cancer samples. The technique is beneficial for investigating the relationship between genes’ methylation patterns and establishing their contribution to carcinogenesis.
Protocol
1. Bisulfite Treatment Use 45 µL of the digested tissue solution as the sample. Perform the bisulfite treatment using reagents in a bisulfite conversion kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions (see Table of Materials). Add 5 µL of dilution buffer to the DNA sample and incubate at 37 °C for 15 min (see Table of Materials). While the samples are incubating, prepare the bisulfite conversion reagent b…
