Abstract
Methods to quantify methylation in a DNA sample include treating the sample to encode the presence or absence of DNA methylation, adding to the sample a set of synthetic molecules (e.g., quality control template (QCT) molecules), generating a co-amplification mixture, sequencing the co-amplification mixture, and determining a number of methylated molecules in the sample based on the number of methylated reads from the sample and a number of reads from the set of synthetic molecules.
