Schematic outline of MeDIP. Genomic DNA is sheared into ~400-700bp using sonication and subsequently denatured. Incubation in 5mC antibodies, along with standard immunoprecipitation, enriches for fragments that are methylated (IP fraction). This IP fraction can become the input sample to one of two DNA detection methods: array hybridization using high-density microarrays (A) or high-throughput sequencing using the latest in sequencing technology (B). Output from these methods are then analyzed for methylation patterns to answer the biological question.
