TET-assisted pyridine borane sequencing, a Common card
TET-assisted pyridine borane sequencing or TAPS is a laboratory technique in epigenetics for high-throughput profiling of DNA methylation at a single base-pair resolution.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It uses a two-step enzymatic conversion of methylated cytosines, 5mC and 5hmC, to uracil which is read as a thymine after sequencing.
- Due to direct conversion of methylated bases, TAPS is a mC-to-T chemistry unlike traditional method such as bisulfite sequencing or EM-Seq which are C-to-T chemistries and convert unmethylated cytosines.
- The enzymatic conversion mitigates DNA damage and degradation and direct conversion improves the sensitivity and specificity of DNA methylation profiling.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The TET-assisted pyridine borane sequencing article was read about 2,200 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 55 and blocks with 33: each hit it takes is cut by 13 %.
