A method for providing DNA fragments derived from a remote sample

摘要

Aspects of the present invention relate to compositions and methods for providing DNA fragments from a remote sample. In particular aspects a remote sample comprising DNA is provided, DNA is isolated from the remote sample, and the isolated DNA is treated in a way which allows differentiation of methylated and unmethylated cytosine. Additional, particular embodiments provide compositions and methods for methylation analysis of DNA derived from a remote sample. Other aspects provide for compositions and methods of whole genome amplification of bisulfite treated DNA.
