Background: Bisulfite sequencing has long been considered the gold standard for measuring DNA methylation at single CpG resolution. However, in recent years several new approaches like nanopore sequencing have been developed due to hints for a partial error-proneness of bisulfite sequencing. Since these errors were shown to be sequence-specific, we aimed to verify the methylation data of a particular region of the TRPA1 promoter from our previous studies obtained by bisulfite sequencing. Methods: We compared methylation rates determined by direct bisulfite sequencing and nanopore sequencing following Cas9-mediated PCR-free enrichment. Results: We could show that CpG methylation levels above 20% corroborate well with our previous data. Within the range between 0 and 20% methylation, however, Sanger sequencing data have to be interpreted cautiously, at least in the investigated region of interest (TRPA1 promotor region). Conclusion: Based on the investigation of the TRPA1- region as an example, the present work can help in choosing the right method out of the two current main approaches for methylation analysis for different individual settings regarding many factors like cohort size, costs and prerequisites that should be fulfilled for each method. All in all, both methods have their raison d'être. Furthermore, the present paper contains and illustrates some important basic information and explanation of how guide RNAs should be located for an optimal outcome in Cas9 mediated PCR free target enrichment.
