Methylation-Specific PCR

Methylation-specific PCR (MS-PCR or MSP) is one of the most commonly used methods for gene/sequence-specific detection of DNA methylation. The DNA undergoes bisulfite conversion of cytosine to uracil and then the methylated sequences are selectively amplified with primers specific for methylation. EpiGentek’s MS-PCR service specifically detects methylation in certain genes of cells and is especially useful for understanding the role DNA methylation plays in the regulation of gene expression, tumorigenesis, and other genetic and epigenetic diseases.
