New Products: Zymo Research's Epigenetic Sequencing Services

Feb 12, 2013
Premium

Zymo Research is now offering epigenetic sequencing services to examine DNA methylation (5-mC) and hydroxymethylation (5-hmC), as well as targeted DNA methylation analysis of single or multiple genetic loci. The company offers workflows for low DNA input, and sequencing techniques such as reduced representation hydroxymethylation profiling, as well as ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, targeted DNA sequencing, large and small genome sequencing, and mitochondrial DNA sequencing. It also offers analysis of DNA modifications by mass spectrometry and nucleosome position mapping.
