"> QIAseq Targeted Methyl Panel: mapping efficiency ), high reproducibility (figure QIAseq Targeted Methyl Panel: methylation degree reproducibility To test methylation degree accuracy and reproducibility, 40 ng control DNA with 0%, 50% and 100% methylation were processed using the QIAseq Targeted Methyl Panel, which consisted of 749 primers. Samples were sequenced on MiSeq and methylation degree of CpG covered by >30 UMI was evaluated, resulting in accurate and highly reproducible methylation calling. "> QIAseq Targeted Methyl Panel: methylation degree reproducibility ) and high correlation with established methods (figures QIAseq Targeted Methyl Panel - high correlation with established methods To test correlation with established methods, the QIAseq Targeted Methyl Panel was used with 40 ng input gDNA from hepatocytes. The panel consisted of 102 primers, covering 71 CpGs. Compared to the Supplier I array, methylation degree resulted in high correlation. "> QIAseq Targeted Methyl Panel - high correlation with established methods and QIAseq Targeted Methyl Panel: methylation status of FFPE DNA: methylation degree To test methylation status of FFPE DNA, the QIAseq Targeted Methyl Panel was used with 40 ng input FFPE DNA. The panel consisting of 93 primers covered 566 CpG sites. The evaluated methylation degree of 7 CpG sites of the MGMT gene highly correlates to the methylation degree that was previously validated with Pyrosequencing.
