RRBS Service (Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing)


What Is RRBS

Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (RRBS) is an enhanced bisulfite-based sequencing method utilized to detect up 7 – 8 million unique CpG sites, covering nearly all CpG islands, gene promoters, and most genetic regulatory elements, gene bodies, and repeated DNA sequences. Limited Time Special Offer: Receive our Enhanced RRBS service for just $539 / sample (with minimum 12 samples per lane)

A Cost-effective Way To Perform Sequencing

RRBS is an NGS platform used to analyze the genome-wide methylation at base resolution detail by the use of a
restriction enzyme and bisulfite treatment to focus on the areas in the genome that have a high CpG content. This is typically designed for researchers who are looking for cost effective ways to perform the sequencing instead of having Whole Genome Bisulfite Sequencing (WGBS) performed.
