How is bisulfite converted DNA unstable over time? - (Apr/25/2011 )

I am curious...Over-time how and wow is bisulfite converted DNA less stable?

-Boba-

It should be stable for at least 6 months if properly stored at -20C.

Yes and thanks, but how does it become unstable? Do the uracils start to degrade?

Hello, I want to know 6 months, you mean that it will not change the proportion de methylation and unmethylation???

-Leon Liu-
