Protocol describes a recently developed method — methylation-specific digital karyotyping (MSDK) — that enables comprehensive and unbiased genome-wide DNA methylation analysis. Using a combination of a methylation-sensitive mapping enzyme (for example, AscI) and a fragmenting enzyme (for example, NlaIII), short sequence tags can be obtained and uniquely mapped to genome location. - [Read Methylation-Specific Digital Karyotyping Protocol]
