Article Abstract
The surge of interest in DNA methylation during the last two decades has triggered an urgent need for an effective method to detect the methylation status of the cytosines in the genome. Bisulfite genomic sequencing is the most attractive choice so far for many laboratories. Various protocols have been established, but difficulties are often encountered, particularly by individuals who have limited experience in this field. This analysis presents a simple protocol that has consistently worked well in our laboratory. Discussions of potential technical problems and corresponding solutions are also included to facilitate the reproducibility of this protocol.

Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder lacking objective biomarkers for early diagnosis. DNA methylation is a promising epigenetic marker, and machine learning offers a data-driven classification approach. However, few studies have examined whole-blood, genome-wide DNA methylation profiles for ASD diagnosis in school-aged children.

Somatic embryogenesis (SE) is an in vitro mass propagation system widely employed in plant breeding programs. However, its efficiency in many forest species remains limited due to their recalcitrance. SE relies on the induction of somatic cell reprogramming into embryogenic pathways, a process influenced by transcriptomic changes regulated, among other factors, by epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation, histone methylation, and histone acetylation.

The genomes of 43 distinct lactococcal strains were reconstructed by a combination of long- and short-read sequencing, resolving the plasmid complement and methylome of these strains. The genomes comprised 43 chromosomes of approximately 2.5 Mb each and 269 plasmids ranging from 2 to 211 kb (at an average occurrence of 6 per strain).

It has been reported that DNA methylation in the epigenetic profile of the genes LEP and ADIPOQ is associated with obesity. To the best of our knowledge, there are no previous reports assessing the methylation of the LEP, LEPR, and ADIPOQ genes in subjects with metabolically healthy obesity (MHO). Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the association between methylation of the LEP, LEPR, and ADIPOQ genes with the MHO phenotype.
