摘要

We present Ultra-Mild Bisulfite Sequencing (UMBS-seq), a method for 5-methylcytosine (5mC) detection that minimizes DNA degradation and background noise. UMBS-seq outperforms conventional bisulfite and enzymatic methyl-sequencing (EM-seq) methods in library yield, complexity, and conversion efficiency when applied to low-input DNA samples. In particular, its effectiveness with low-input cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and hybridization-based target capture highlights its potential for clinical applications, including 5mC biomarker detection and early disease diagnosis.
