5mC analysis by LC/MS ? - (Apr/17/2006 )

member hn37041 posted his use of LC/MS for global methylation analysis.
I have been browsing PubMed and I only found this reference:

· Anal Chem. 2002 Sep 1;74(17):4526-31.
· A method to assess genomic DNA methylation using high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.
· Friso S, Choi SW, Dolnikowski GG, Selhub J.

Friso et al. use 1 ug gDNA, while hn37041 uses 10-100ng only.

I'd appreciate knowing of other references, or about further details or protocol (either from hn37041 or from any other fellow).

.

LC/MC instruments these days are far more sensitive than the olden days justifying the use of such amounts of starting gDNA material.
