Bisulfite sequencing measures absolute levels of DNA methylation at single-nucleotide resolution,
providing a robust platform for molecular diagnostics. Here, we optimize bisulfite sequencing for
genome-scale analysis of clinical samples. Specifically, we outline how restriction digestion
targets bisulfite sequencing to hotspots of epigenetic regulation; we show that 30ng of DNA are
sufficient for genome-scale analysis; we demonstrate that our protocol works well on formalinfixed,
paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples; and we describe a statistical method for assessing
significance of altered DNA methylation patterns.
