Focus: Agilent Epigenetic Analysis Solutions
Agilent’s epigenetics analysis solutions offer a wide range of tools to study
DNA methylation and histone modifications, as well as the role of noncoding
RNAs in regulatory pathways. Agilent provides the tools needed to gain a better
understanding of epigenetic control mechanisms that play a role in cancer,
human diseases, and cell development.
DNA Methylation and Histone Modifications
Study DNA methylation and histone modifications to understand how these
epigenetic modifications affect regulatory pathways, such as those known
to repress transcription of tumor suppressor genes and other human diseases.

Key Products for DNA Methylation and Histone Modifications
SureSelectXT Human Methyl-Seq
The first comprehensive target enrichment system to enable researchers to focus on the
regions where methylation is known to impact gene regulation: CpG islands, CpG island
shores, undermethylated regions, promoters, and differentially methylated regions (DMRs).
• Uniquely delivers more information than methylation microarrays
by detecting individual CpGs
• Increases throughput and reduces costs compared to whole genome
bisulfite sequencing. (See figure 1 for correlation data.)
• Reveals methylated regions not detected by restriction enzyme
and immunoprecipitation or SNP-based assays
• GeneSpring NGS now supports Methyl-Seq, data for identifying methylation
sites generated SureSelectXT Human Methyl-Seq. (See figure 2.)
SurePrint DNA Methylation and ChIP-on-Chip Microarrays
Agilent’s catalog and custom DNA Methylation and ChIP-on-chip microarrays
enable analysis of the epigenetic events that regulate gene expression.

methylated C’s as circles colored by intensities relative to their methylation level or p-values.
miRNA
miRNAs are short noncoding RNAs known to regulate gene expression
post-transcriptionally. miRNAs also control expression of some epigenetic
regulators and are involved in an epigenetics-miRNA regulatory circuit
that when disrupted, may be involved in cancer development and other
human disease processes.

SurePrint miRNA Microarrays
Agilent’s miRNA microarrays enable comprehensive miRNA expression
across a broad dynamic range, ensuring the detection of low and high
expressors to confidently study the role of miRNAs.
