International audience. DNA methylation is the most studied epigenetic mark in both plants and animals. The gold standard for assaying genome-wide DNA methylation at single-base resolution is whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS). Here, we describe an improved procedure for WGBS and original bioinformatic workflows applied to unravel tissue-specific variations of the methylome in relation to gene expression and accumulation of secondary metabolites in the medicinal plant Catharanthus roseus.
