Abstract

A method of estimating the amount of a methylated locus is provided. In certain embodiments the method comprises: digesting a nucleic acid sample that contains both unmethylated and methylated copies of a genomic locus with an MspJI family member to produce a population of fragments that are in the range of 20-40 nucleotides in length, ligating adaptor sequence A and adaptor sequence B to the respective ends of a target fragment of sequence X, and quantifying the amount of ligation products of formula A-X-B. A kit for performing the method is also provided.
