What Are the Applications of Bisulfite Sequencing in Histology?
Bisulfite sequencing has a multitude of applications in histology:
1. Cancer Research: It helps in identifying aberrant methylation patterns associated with tumorigenesis. 2. Developmental Biology: Understanding tissue-specific methylation during different stages of development. 3. Disease Diagnosis: Epigenetic markers can aid in the early diagnosis of diseases. 4. Forensic Science: Methylation patterns can be used for tissue-specific identification in forensic investigations.
