Project description:Bionano DLS optical mapping data for individual HV31 generated using DNA from peripheral blood mononuclear cells, to a molecule depth of ~153×. Optical mapping was performed at the Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine using the Bionano Saphyr platform.
Project description:We present a long-read, single-molecule mapping technology that generates hybrid genetic/epigenetic profiles of native chromosomal DNA. The genome-wide distribution of 5-hmC in human peripheral blood cells correlates well with 5-hmC DNA immunoprecipitation (hMeDIP) sequencing. However, the long single-molecule read-length of 100 kbp-1 Mbp produces 5-hmC profiles across variable genomic regions that failed to show up in the sequencing data. In addition, optical 5-hmC mapping shows a strong correlation between the 5-hmC density in gene bodies and the corresponding level of gene expression.
