Genome-Wide Analysis of Methylation in Bovine Clones by Methylated DNA Immunoprecipitation (MeDIP)


Kiefer H

Methylated DNA immunoprecipitation (MeDIP), when coupled to high-throughput sequencing or microarray hybridization, allows for the identification of methylated loci at a genome-wide scale. Genomic regions affected by incomplete reprogramming after nuclear transfer can potentially be delineated by comparing the MeDIP profiles of bovine clones and non-clones. This chapter presents a MeDIP protocol largely inspired from Mohn and colleagues (Mohn et al., Methods Mol Biol 507:55–64, 2009), with PCR primers specific for cattle, and when possible, overviews of experimental designs adapted to the comparison between clones and non-clones.
