Methylated DNA immunoprecipitation is a large scale purification technique. It enables the isolation of methylated DNA fragments for subsequent locus-specific or genome-wide analysis. Here we describe an immunoprecipitation protocol using a monoclonal mouse anti 5-methyl-cytidine antibody followed by next-generation sequencing (MeDIP-Seq).
