I am a first year PhD student and my project involves methylation of CpG islands with a bisulfite treatment. I was wondering if there was any reason to believe that sodium bisulfite works better than sodium metabisulfite. This project has been ongoing for over a year now, and I am the first to try meta...any suggestions? Thanks

hi rogin,
i've been away from epigenetics for over a year now, but until then i had not heard about metabisulfite conversion. how does it exactly work?
i think this topic would fit best under the epigenetics and dna methylation subforum
