METHOD FOR RELATIVE QUANTIFICATION OF CHANGES IN DNA METHYLATION, USING COMBINED NUCLEASE, LIGATION, AND POLYMERASE REACTIONS

The present invention is directed to methods for identifying the presence of one or more methylated or unmethylated target nucleotide sequences in a sample that involve a nuclease-ligation reaction. In some embodiments, the ligation products formed in the nuclease-ligation process of the present inv...

Summary:The present invention is directed to methods for identifying the presence of one or more methylated or unmethylated target nucleotide sequences in a sample that involve a nuclease-ligation reaction. In some embodiments, the ligation products formed in the nuclease-ligation process of the present invention are subsequently amplified using a polymerase chain reaction. The ligated product sequences or extension products thereof are detected, and the presence of one or more methylated or unmethylated target nucleotide sequences in the sample is identified based on the detection.
