What is Methylated DNA Immunoprecipitation (MeDIP)?
Methylated DNA Immunoprecipitation (MeDIP) is a technique used to isolate and study methylated DNA sequences. This method leverages the specificity of antibodies that bind to methylated cytosines to pull down methylated DNA from a complex mixture. MeDIP has become an invaluable tool in epigenetics, enabling researchers to investigate DNA methylation patterns across the genome.
