Overview

The Infinium Mouse Methylation BeadChip Kit offers a unique combination of comprehensive, expert-selected coverage and high sample throughput.

  • Supports genome-wide DNA methylation studies 

  • Enables epigenetic analysis of virtually all murine strains used in research laboratories

  • Interrogates 285K methylation sites per sample at single-nucleotide resolution

  • Provides a PCR-free protocol using the powerful Infinium HD Assay for epigenetic studies

Comprehensive coverage across gene regions

The Infinium Mouse Methylation BeadChip provides balanced coverage of CpG islands, translation start sites, enhancers, imprinted loci, and other regions. Infinium HD chemistry enables content selection independent of bias limitations often associated with methylated DNA capture methods.

High assay reproducibility

The Infinium Mouse Methylation BeadChip achieves > 98% reproducibility for technical replicates and shows high correlation with whole-genome bisulfite sequencing data.

Broad range of applications

Enables epigenome-wide association studies, xenograft experiments, preclinical research, and more.

broad coverage using infinium

Broad coverage using Infinium I and Infinium II assay designs

The array uses both Infinium I and Infinium II assays. Infinium I assay design employs two bead types per CpG locus, 1 each for the methylated and unmethylated states. The Infinium II design uses 1 bead type, with the methylated state determined at the single base extension step after hybridization.

FAQs

Using the standard Infinium Methylation protocol, ≥ 96% of sites on the array should be detected by GenomeStudio Methylation Module Software, assuming high-quality intact genomic DNA at a minimum of 250 ng input per sample.

The GenomeStudio Methylation Module extracts beta values and provides clustering for Infinium Mouse Methylation BeadChip data. GenomeStudio controls normalization with the Mouse Methylation BeadChip is not supported at this time. Also, the BeadArray Controls Reporter software tool is not supported at this time.

There are many freeware applications in Bioconductor, such as SeSAMe, that provide enhanced normalization and visualization options. Illumina does not provide support for these freeware solutions directly.

SNPs are included on the BeadChip so investigators can generate a DNA fingerprint of their samples as an added level of quality control. Specifically, for the Mouse Methylation BeadChip, SNP probes are included to help identify the strain origin of the DNA being analyzed. Refer to the Infinium HD Methylation Assay Reference Guide for further information. SNP assays on the BeadChip are not mentioned in the assay guide and only briefly described in the GenomeStudio Methylation Module.

Illumina has not validated the array for 5-hMc. However, publications have used the Infinium HumanMethylation450K and MethylationEPIC BeadChips for 5-hMc analysis and it is possible that this protocol will work on the Infinium Mouse Methylation BeadChip.
