One question… • Where do we measure? • At least 7 arrays are needed to measure entire genome • CpG are depleated • Remaining CpGs cluster
McRBC Input Cuts at AmCG or GmCG No Methylation
McRBC Methylation
McRBC after GEL Methylation
McRBC after GEL Methylation
Now unmethylated No Methylation

BS-seq • Alignment is much trickier: • Naïve strategy: do nothing, hope not many CpG in a single read • Smarter strategy: “bisulfite convert” reference: turn all Cs to Ts • Also needs to be done on reverse complement reference and reads • Smartest strategy: be unbiased and try all combinations of methylated/un-methylated CpGs in each read • Computationally expensive (see Hansen et al, 2011, for a strategy)
