Product Description
Bracketing a methylation assay with both a fully methylated and a completely unmethylated reference removes much of the guesswork from data interpretation. This paired control set supplies both extremes from the same human genetic background, letting you check bisulfite conversion efficiency and establish clear positive and negative signals for downstream methylation analysis.
This listing is for catalog number D5013: Human Methylated & Non-Methylated (WGA) DNA Set, DNA w/ Primers. Both DNAs are produced by phi29-based whole genome amplification of genomic DNA from the HCT116 DKO cell line, a process that leaves the copies free of methylation. The methylated version is then treated with M.SssI methyltransferase to modify every double-stranded CG site. Purpose-built primers are included, and the set pairs with the EZ DNA Methylation, Methylation-Gold, Methylation-Direct, and Methylation-Lightning kits. LIGHT LABS ships genuine Zymo Research products with knowledgeable support from our Englewood, Colorado team.
Key Features
- Paired controls – Supplies matched methylated and non-methylated human DNA for positive and negative reference points.
- Whole genome amplified – Generated by phi29 polymerase amplification of HCT116 DKO genomic DNA.
- Complete CpG methylation – Methylated DNA is enzymatically modified at all double-stranded CG dinucleotides with M.SssI.
- Primers included – A dedicated primer set supports amplification-based conversion checks.
- EZ kit compatible – Intended for use with the EZ DNA Methylation family of bisulfite conversion kits.
