DNA methylation protocol for analyzing cell-free DNA in the spent culture medium of human preimplantation embryos

Summary: Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in spent embryo culture media (SECM) provides prospects for noninvasive preimplantation genetic testing. Here, we present a post-bisulfite-adapter-tagging (PBAT)-based whole-genome DNA methylation sequencing protocol (SECM-PBAT) for human SECM cfDNA analysis. We descri...
