Qualitative and quantitative detection of methylation at CpG sites using the fluorescein-dGTP incorporated asymmetric PCR assay strategy†
Abstract
The methylation status of each CpG site can be monitored by Fl-dGTP incorporated asymmetric PCR assay. The ability of quantitative detection makes it a good choice for detecting partial methylation at CpG sites compared with others. And the monitoring is not limited to sites within PCR primers or restriction enzyme-recognition sites.
