NEBNext® Enzymatic 5hmC-seq Conversion Module


Catalog #E3365

Product Introduction

NEBNext® Enzymatic 5hmC-seq (E5hmC-seq™) is a new method for the specific detection of 5hmC at the single base level.

The enzymatic conversion workflow minimizes damage to DNA and allows discrimination of 5hmC from both cytosine and 5mC

For E5hmC-seq in Illumina® sequencing workflows, we recommend use of the NEBNext Enzymatic 5hmC-seq Kit (NEB #E3350) instead of this module. The kit includes the E5hmC-seq Adaptor, as well as the high-efficiency NEBNext Ultra™ II library prep reagents, and these components are not included in the Conversion Module.

  • High-sensitivity specific detection of 5hmC
  • 0.1 – 200 ng input range
  • High efficiency conversion
  • Minimal DNA damage
  • E5hmC-seq kit including library prep reagents also available (NEB #E3350)

Product Information

Description

The NEBNext E5hmC-seq Conversion Module provides a high-performance enzyme-based method for detection of 5hmC at the single base level. In the E5hmC-seq two-step conversion workflow, T4-BGT glucosylates 5hmC, providing protection from deamination by APOBEC in the next step. T4-BGT does not protect 5mC or unmethylated cytosines, which are deaminated by APOBEC to uracils.

Note that for Illumina sequencing workflows, the NEBNext Enzymatic 5hmC-seq Kit, including library prep reagents is available (NEB #E3350)

E3365 Conversion Module

To enable specific 5hmC detection, 5hmC is first glucosylated using T4-BGT. 5mC and unmodified cytosine are then deaminated by APOBEC to thymine and uracil, respectively, while the protected 5hmC is not converted.
