Bisulfite sequencing is a popular method to analyze DNA methylation patterns at high resolution. A region of interest is targeted by PCR and about 20-50 subcloned DNA molecules are usually analyzed, to determine the methylation status at single CpG sites and molecule resolution.
The BISMA (Bisulfite Sequencing DNA Methylation Analysis) software for analysis of primary bisulfite sequencing data implements sequencing data extraction and enhanced data processing, quality controls, analysis and presentation of the methylation state. It uses an improved strategy for detection of clonal molecules and accurate CpG site detection and it supports for the first time analysis of repetitive sequences.
BISMA works highly automated but still provides the user full control over all steps of the analysis. The BISMA software is freely available as an online tool for academic purposes for the analysis of bisulfite sequencing data from both unique and repetitive sequences http://biochem.jacobs-university.de/BDPC/BISMA/.
亚硫酸氢盐测序是一种分析 DNA 甲基化模式的常用方法,具有高分辨率。通过 PCR 靶向感兴趣的区域,通常分析大约 20-50 个亚克隆 DNA 分子,以确定单个 CpG 位点和分子分辨率的甲基化状态。
用于分析原始亚硫酸氢盐测序数据的 BISMA(Bisulfite Sequencing DNA Methylation Analysis)软件实现了测序数据的提取和增强的数据处理、质量控制、甲基化状态的分析和呈现。它使用了一种改进的策略来检测克隆分子和准确的 CpG 位点检测,并首次支持重复序列的分析。
BISMA 高度自动化,但仍为用户提供对分析所有步骤的完全控制。BISMA 软件是一种免费的在线工具,可用于学术目的,用于分析来自独特和重复序列的亚硫酸氢盐测序数据,网址为 http://biochem.jacobs-university.de/BDPC/BISMA/。
