Abstract:

In nanopore sequencing devices, electrolytic current signals are sensitive to
base modifications, such as 5-methylcytosine (5-mC). Here we quantified the
strength of this effect for the Oxford Nanopore Technologies MinION sequencer. By
using synthetically methylated DNA, we were able to train a hidden Markov model
to distinguish 5-mC from unmethylated cytosine. We applied our method to sequence
the methylome of human DNA, without requiring special steps for library
preparation.
