(a) What is the DNA sequence? (2 marks) (b) Is the region methylated or unmethylated in this sample? (2 marks) (c) Explain how the incorporation of a nucleotide during pyrosequencing is used by an enzyme cascade to produce light. (3 marks) (d) Explain why DNA is treated with sodium bisulfite for analysis of DNA methylation. (3 marks) Essay (80%) Discuss how DNA methylation and histone modifications can enable regulation of gene expression. In your answer, explain the principles of genomic imprinting and the basis of imprinting disorders, citing examples.
