D ) deamination assay monitored by LC-MS on oligonucleotides containing internal cytosine modifications. Quantification of deamination is shown in the right panel ss: single strand, ds: double strand, mC: 5-methylC, hmC: 5-hydroxymethylC, fC: 5-formylC, caC: 5-carboxyC, gmC: 5-glucosyl-methylC.

Figure Lengend Snippet: A) Preparation of a 2 fold serial dilution series : A sample containing 4% methylation at dcm sites was obtained by mixing dcm+ genomic DNA (100% methylation at dcm sites) with Δdcm genomic DNA (0% methylation) at a 4:96 molar ratio. Serial 1:2 dilutions were performed by mixing an equimolar amount of Δdcm genomic DNA to the previous dilution, starting from the 4% sample. The serial dilutions generated samples containing methylation levels at 2%, 1%, 0.5%, 0.25%, 0.13%, 0.06% and 0.03% respectively Each dilution level sample was split into two duplicates. The correlation of deamination in 5mC (XP12) on per base resolution between individual samples is displayed as heatmap in the right panel. B ) Percentage of deamination across all 256 NCNNN contexts (where N=A, T, C, or G; log10 scale on y-axis) measured on control genomic DNA samples: XP12 (5mC, left panel), T4gt (5hmC, center-left panel), pUC19 (CpG-context 5mC, center-right panel), and Lambda (canonical C, right panel) for the 10 samples analyzed. Deamination in C pG sites (blue) and C C WGG motifs (orange, where W=A or T) is highlighted to denote CpG methylation in pUC19 and the recognition sites of the Dcm methylase, respectively. C ) Sensitivity curve representing the percentage of deamination across all 256 NCNNN contexts in E. coli DNA mixtures of Δdcm and dcm+ strains. A value of 100% methylation corresponds to DNA from a pure dcm+ strain, while 0% represents DNA from a pure Δdcm strain. Deamination in C C WGG (orange) and CCGGG (red) contexts is highlighted to indicate the Dcm methylase recognition sites and potential “star” activity of the Dcm methylase, respectively.

Figure Lengend Snippet: A) Deamination heatmap in spike-in phage genomes or CG-methylated plasmid pUC19. Unavailable sequence contexts in the pUC19 genome were marked blank. Color scale ranges from 0.0 to 1.0 (100% deamination). Deamination level in CN context in CG-methylated pUC19 plasmid DNA is shown in the right panel. The average deamination percentage in CpG context was 76.1%. B) Percentage of base substitutions in sequencing reads across read positions (x-axis, in base pairs) is shown for two replicates of mSCD-B5-treated libraries (NA12878 genomic DNA, 100 ng input; left two panels) compared to the platinum standard DNA-seq (NA12878). Substitutions were categorized into 12 types, with a specific panel highlighting C-to-T substitutions in CpG contexts to illustrate the magnitude difference compared to other contexts. This breakdown underscores the distinct patterns of C-to-T conversions in CpG (overwhelmingly due to deamination) versus non-CpG regions (from sequencing error or true variants). Only paired-end read 1 were used to avoid the reverse complement of C-to-T (G-to-A) to interfere with baseline substitution C) QC metrics of the fragment size distribution (left panel), GC bias (middle panel) and correlation of the overall-genomic methylation levels obtained with mSCD-B5 (y-axis) and Nanopore (x-axis) at various NCpG contexts (Right panels) for various amount of starting material. D ) Genome-wide methylation level correlation between Nanopore and mSCD-B5 from 0.05 ng to 100 ng starting material. Nanopore base resolution methylation levels were binned into 0-10%, 10-20% until 90-100% (x-axis) and the equivalent methylation from mSCD-B5 were computed and plotted (Y axis) according to the NCpG context (with N=A,T,C or G). E) Methylation levels in CpG island for NA12878 (Left panel) and mixed population of genomic DNA from NA12878 and WT-DKO at ratio 99:1, (Right panel) genomic DNA function of the methylation levels in WT-DKO.

Insert size distribution (in bp, top panels) and GC content bias (bottom panels) for mSCD-B5 + BGT treated libraries (duplicates, left panels) and mSCD-B5 treated libraries (duplicates, right panels). Insert size and GC bias metrics were generated using Picard tools (version 2.0.1)
