Ultrafast Bisulfite Sequencing for Efficient and Accurate 5-Methylcytosine Detection in DNA and RNA

We present an ultrafast bisulfite sequencing (UBS-seq) method, which accelerates the bisulfite reaction by about 13-fold, resulting in minimal DNA damage and much lower background in all DNA sequences. This ultrafast BS protocol is also ideal for mapping of RNA 5-methylcytosine (m5C) because of much shorter reaction time and dramatically reduced RNA background. And allowed detection of m5C stoichiometry in highly structured RNA species. Overall design: Compare bisulfite conversion efficiency of UBS and conventional-BS reagent
