Combined bisulfite restriction analysis (COBRA) is one of the most commonly used methylation quantification methods. However, it focuses on relatively few restriction enzymes. Here, we present Methyl-Typing, a web-based software that provides restriction enzyme mining data for methyl-cytosine-containing sequences following bisulfite-conversion. Gene names, accession numbers, sequences, PCR primers, and file upload are accessible for input. Promoter sequences and restriction enzymes for CpG- and GpC-containing recognition sites are retrieved. Four representative enzymes were tested successfully by COBRA on the experimental work. Therefore, the Methyl-Typing tool provides a comprehensive COBRA-restriction enzyme mining. It is freely available at http://bio.kuas.edu.tw/methyl-typing.
