New 'ultra-mild' sequencing method fixes long-standing flaws in cancer DNA methylation tests
Phys.org • 11/11/2025 – 11/13/2025
Summary
A new methylation analysis method called UMBS-seq has been introduced to address the limitations of traditional bisulfite sequencing, which damages DNA, and enzyme-based alternatives that lack consistency, according to a publication in Nature Communications. This "ultra-mild" sequencing method aims to improve the accuracy of cancer DNA methylation tests.
