Libraries were prepared from 200-500 ng of genomic DNA (from 5-6 tendons) digested with 60 units of TaqαI and 30 units of MspI (NEB) sequentially and then extracted with Zymo Research (ZR) DNA Clean & Concentrator™-5 kit (Cat#: D4003) Fragments were ligated to pre-annealed adapters containing 5’-methyl-cytosine instead of cytosine according to Illumina’s specified guidelines (www.illumina.com). Adaptor-ligated fragments of 150–250 bp and 250–350 bp in size were recovered from a 2.5% NuSieve 1:1 agarose gel (Zymoclean™ Gel DNA Recovery Kit, ZR Cat#: D4001). The fragments were then bisulfite-treated using the EZ DNA Methylation-Lightning™ Kit (ZR, Cat#: D5020). Preparative-scale PCR was performed and the resulting products were purified (DNA Clean & Concentrator™ - ZR, Cat#D4005) for sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq.
