The document describes a new method called post-bisulfite next-generation sequencing library construction (PBLC) for whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) that overcomes challenges with traditional WGBS workflows. PBLC involves bisulfite treatment before library preparation, which fragments the DNA so no additional fragmentation is needed. This reduces workflow time and enables epigenomic studies from lower DNA inputs. Comparison studies show PBLC produces higher library yields than traditional WGBS and comparable sequencing results, making it a more efficient and sensitive method for WGBS.
