Table 1 Bisulfite amplicon sequencing (BSAS) accuracy improvement

From: Focused, high accuracy 5-methylcytosine quantitation with base resolution by benchtop next-generation sequencing

  1. Mean squared error (MSE) improvements of methylation quantitation from BSAS compared to Sanger/epigenetic sequencing methylation analysis (ESME) from each methylation control are presented. BSAS was more accurate at quantifying methylation at every control, and demonstrated an overall 16-fold decrease in error compared to Sanger/ESME across the mouse controls and 5-fold decrease in error across the rat controls.
