Targeted DNA methylation analysis is a molecular biology technique that allows researchers to investigate methylation patterns at specific DNA regions, such as particular genes or genomic loci. Instead of examining the entire genome, this focused approach enables detailed analysis of epigenetic modifications in these targeted areas. This technique is frequently employed in cancer research to identify potential biomarkers based on DNA methylation patterns.
