Post-bisulfite adaptor tagging (PBAT) is a highly efficient procedure to construct libraries for whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS). PBAT attaches adaptors to bisulfite-converted genomic DNA to circumvent bisulfite-induced degradation of library DNA inherent to conventional WGBS protocols. Consequently, it enables PCR-free WGBS from nanogram quantities of mammalian DNA, thereby serving as an invaluable tool for methylomics.
亚硫酸氢盐后衔接子标记(PBAT)是一种用于构建全基因组亚硫酸氢盐测序(WGBS)文库的高效方法。PBAT将衔接子连接到经亚硫酸氢盐转化的基因组DNA上,以避免传统WGBS方案中固有的亚硫酸氢盐诱导的文库DNA降解。因此,它能够从纳克量的哺乳动物DNA中进行无PCR的WGBS,从而成为甲基组学的一种宝贵工具。
