Reduced Representational Bisulfite Sequencing of R1 and Dnmt1 Tet/Tet mouse embryonic stem cell lines
We generated RRBS data to enable a comparative DNA methylation analysis of Dnmt1 Tet/Tet, a mouse embyonic stem cell line (ESC) that overexpresses DNMT1 and the WT R1 ESCs and their neuronal derivatives. The optimized data analysis workflows provides a framework for comparative investigations of methylation profiles. This platform offers a comprehensive and more accurate quantitative and qualitative evaluation of methylated cytosines in ESCs and neurons. We expect that RRBS-based methylome analysis permits to understand the epigenetic basis of abnormal neurogenesis. Overall design: Study of the methylation profiles of R1 and Dnmt1 Tet/Tet ESCs and their neuronal derivatives.
