Dynamic changes in DNA methylation at the gene-specific and genome-wide level occur during mammalian germ-cell development. However, the details of how the methylation profiles change remain largely unknown. Bisulfite sequencing analysis is a powerful technique to determine the methylation status of DNA at individual cytosine-guanine dinucleotide (CpG) sites and requires only a small amount of DNA for analysis. Here, we introduce two methods for bisulfite-based DNA methylation analyses using small samples such as germ cells: bisulfite Sanger sequencing at a specific locus and high-throughput bisulfite sequencing at the whole genome level.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 April 2012.
All research outputs
#18,305,445
of 22,664,267 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#7,815
of 13,025 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#195,773
of 240,852 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#314
of 463 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,664,267 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,025 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.3. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 240,852 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 463 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
