Application of a low cost array-based technique - TAB-Array - for quantifying and mapping both 5mC and 5hmC at single base resolution.


ABSTRACT: 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), an oxidized derivative of 5-methylcytosine (5mC), has been implicated as an important epigenetic regulator of mammalian development. Current procedures use cost-prohibitive DNA sequencing methods to discriminate 5hmC from 5mC, limiting their accessibility to the scientific community. Here we report a method that combines TET-assisted bisulfite conversion with Illumina 450K DNA methylation arrays for a low-cost high-throughput approach that distinguishes 5hmC and 5mC signals. Implementing this approach, termed TAB-array, we assessed DNA methylation dynamics in the differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells into cardiovascular and neural progenitors. With the ability to discriminate 5mC and 5hmC, we found a much larger number of dynamically methylated genomic regions implicated in the development of these lineages than we could detect by 5mC analysis alone. The increased resolution and accuracy afforded by this approach provides a powerful means to investigate the distinct contributions of 5mC and 5hmC in human development and disease.
