Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Not only inherent genome alternation but also acquired genome (epigenome) alternation is extremely important for people who have a high cancer or cancer death risk. In this research, we developed nanodevices to realize DNA methylation analysis, which is a typical cancer epigenome alternation, on a single DNA molecule. We demonstrated DNA methylation mapping on a single DNA molecule in the nano devices. Our developed system could analyze DNA methylation with higher accuracy and speed rather than conventional systems, and furthermore, it will help researchers to elucidate cancer pathogenic mechanism or realize early cancer diagnosis.
