概要 Methylated DNA plays an important role in the epigenetic gene regulation and thus can be a promising biomarker for cancer diagnosis. Therefore, a simple method for the analysis of methylation ratio of cytosines in target gene is highly required. We herein report a new method for the pinpoint detection of 5-methylcytosine that is based on the selective chemical modification of cytosine at the branching point of DNA three-way junction and the real-time PCR assay.
