Term Name: amplification of intermethylated sites evidence
Synonyms: AIMS
Definition: A type of in vitro methylation assay evidence resulting from a genome-wide estimate of DNA methylation by differential enzymatic digestion of genomic DNA with methylation-sensitive and methylation-insensitive isoschizomers, followed by restrained PCR amplification of sequences methylated at both ends and resolving the PCR products in a denaturing polyacrylamide-sequencing gel to generate fingerprints that consist of multiple anonymous bands that represent the DNA methylome of the cell.
