Detecting DNA cytosine methylation using nanopore sequencing

Abstract: In nanopore sequencing devices, electrolytic current signals are sensitive to base modifications, such as 5-methylcytosine (5-mC). Here we quantified the strength of this effect for the Oxford Nanopore Technologies MinION sequencer. By using synthetically methylated DNA, we were able to train a hidden Markov model to distinguish 5-mC from unmethylated cytosine. We applied our method to sequence the methylome of human DNA, without requiring special steps for library preparation.

“…Base-calling can also be performed a posteriori with Albacore on a personal computer, a high performance computing server, or ONT's cloud-based analysis service known as Metrichor (https://metrichor.com). A third option is to use one of the multiple open-source base-calling algorithms, which use various machine-or deep-learning algorithms, including hidden Markov models Simpson et al 2017) and recurrent neural networks (Boža et al 2017;Stoiber and Brown 2017). Unfortunately, these algorithms are typically trained to predict exclusively four bases (A, C, G, T), and thus cannot directly identify DNA-or RNA-modified nucleotides.…”

“…With continued technical development, they may be employed to aging research making direct analysis of DNA modification patterns from un-manipulated DNA possible. An exciting possibility of this single-molecule approach would be that individual cells could potentially be interrogated, without the need for extensive amplification (and the issues this can cause) but this still requires additional method development (Simpson et al 2017). …”

“…Cette méthode a permis récemment de réaliser le séquençage, directement sur site, d'espèces de bactéries sauvages [20,21], de détecter et d'identifier des virus in situ (virus de la dengue [22], parvovirus [23], virus Ebola [24]). Elle a été utilisée pour la détection d'éléments transposables [25], de méthylation de l'ADN [26], et de mutations précoces liées à la maladie d'Alzheimer [27]. Grâce à des algorithmes fondés sur le maximum de vraisemblance, elle a aussi révélé des isoformes de récepteurs dans des lymphocytes B [28].…”
