Variable analysis
- Bisulfite conversion of genomic DNA
- PCR amplification of the targeted promoter regions
- In vitro transcription using the PCR products as the template and T7 RNA polymerase
- Uracil-specific cleavage of the RNA transcripts by RNase A
- CpG methylation status within p16^Ink4a and p21^Cip1/Waf1 promoters in MEFs
- Sizes of the resulting fragments determined by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry
- Genomic DNA samples from MEFs

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
