Abstract

V originále

The extent of the DNA methylation of genomic DNA as well as the methylation pattern of many gene-regulatory areas are important aspects with regard to the state of genetic information, especially their expression. There is growing evidence that aberrant methylation is associated with many serious pathological consequences. As genetic research advances, many different approaches have been employed to determine the overall level of DNA methylation in a genome or to reveal the methylation state of particular nucleotide residues, starting from semiquantitative methods up to new and powerful techniques. In this paper, the currently employed techniques are reviewed both from the point of view of their relevance in genomic research and of their analytical application. The methods discussed include approaches based on chromatographic separation, separation in an electric field, and some other methodological procedures.
