METHOD FOR DETECTING DNA METHYLATION USING LABELLED S-ADENOSYLMETHIONINE ANALOGS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for detecting the methylation status in DNA samples. According to the invention, a DNA methyl transferase and a labelled S-adenosylmethionine derivative allow a detectable label to be covalently bonded to the DNA, in accordance with the respective methylation status of the DNA sample.
