Abstract
The present invention is directed to methods for identifying the presence of one or more methylated or unmethylated target nucleotide sequences in a sample that involve coupled methylation sensitive restriction enzyme digestion-ligation and/or extension processes. In some embodiments, the ligation and primary extension products formed in the reaction processes of the present invention are subsequently amplified using a polymerase chain reaction. The ligation products or primary extension products are detected, and the presence of one or more methylated or unmethylated target nucleotide sequences in the sample is identified based on the detection.
