Fig. 3. COBRA of imprinted genes. PCR products of each DMR region were digested
with restriction enzymes with a recognition sequence containing CpG in the
original unconverted DNA. Where the enzyme sites are methylated, PCR products
are fragmented; where PCR products are not fragmented, the enzyme sites are
unmethylated. White arrowheads indicate the sizes of the unmethylated DNA
fragments. Black arrowheads indicate the sizes of the methylated DNA
fragments. The enzymes used to cleave each locus are indicated in parenthesis.
BsiEI was used to analyze the Rasgrf1 DMRs in the DNA from
mouse pups and from mGS cells. Levels of percentage methylation, estimated by
the intensity of each band, are indicated below the gels. U, uncleaved; C,
cleaved.
