TY - JOUR A1 - Yan, Bo A1 - Wang, Duan A1 - Ettwiller, Laurence T1 - Simultaneous assessment of human genome and methylome data in a single experiment using limited deamination of methylated cytosine Y1 - 2024/06/01 JF - Genome Research JO - Genome Research SP - 904 EP - 913 DO - 10.1101/gr.278294.123 VL - 34 IS - 6 UR - http://genome.cshlp.org/content/34/6/904.abstract N2 - Multiomics require concerted recording of independent information, ideally from a single experiment. In this study, we introduce RIMS-seq2, a high-throughput technique to simultaneously sequence genomes and overlay methylation information while requiring only a small modification of the experimental protocol for high-throughput DNA sequencing to include a controlled deamination step. Importantly, the rate of deamination of 5-methylcytosine is negligible and thus does not interfere with standard DNA sequencing and data processing. Thus, RIMS-seq2 libraries from whole- or targeted-genome sequencing show the same germline variation calling accuracy and sensitivity compared with standard DNA-seq. Additionally, regional methylation levels provide an accurate map of the human methylome. ER -
