DNA methylation can be analyzed using various techniques such as:
Bisulfite Sequencing: Converts unmethylated cytosines to uracil, allowing for the identification of methylated sites. Methylation-Specific PCR (MSP): Amplifies DNA regions with known methylation patterns. Microarrays: Used for genome-wide methylation analysis.
These methods help in diagnosing and understanding the epigenetic basis of neonatal disorders.
