*Input amount is based on the amount of DNA used at the beginning of the EM-seq workflow, not the amount of DNA going into the PCR reaction.

Cycle number recommendations are based on optimization with the NEBNext Enzymatic Methyl-seq kit (NEB #E7120). Further optimization to avoid over amplification may be required.
