AbstractBisulfite sequencing is widely used to detect 5mC and 5hmC at single base resolution. However, bisulfite treatment damages DNA resulting in fragmentation, loss of DNA and biased sequencing data. To overcome this, we developed Enzymatic Methyl-seq (EM-seq), an enzymatic based approach that uses as little as 100 pg of DNA. EM-seq outperformed bisulfite converted libraries in all metrics examined including coverage, duplication, sensitivity and nucleotide composition. EM-seq libraries displayed even GC distribution, improved correlation across input amounts as well as increased representation of genomic features. These data indicate that EM-seq is more accurate and reliable than whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS).

While the role of 5-methylcytosine has been well studied, the biological role of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine still remains unclear due to the limited methods available for single-base detection of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC). Here, we present Mirror bisulfite sequencing detects 5-hydroxymethylcytosines at a single CpG site by synthesizing a DNA strand to mirror the parental strand. This semi-conservative duplex is sequentially treated with β-glucosyltransferase and M.SssI methylase. A glucosyl-5hmCpG in the parental strand inhibits methylation of the mirroring CpG site, and after bisulfite conversion, a thymine in the mirroring strand indicates a 5hmCpG site in the parental strand whereas a cytosine indicates a non-5hmC site. Using this method, the 5hmC levels of various human tissues and paired liver tissues were mapped genome-wide.
