Is anybody working with DNA methylation using MSAP?

I faced problem to stain and visualize denaturing PAGE gel. I will appreciate if you share your practical experience in this issue.

Dear Juran

I hope you are following post run staining protocol where you remove your PAGE gel from cassette and release it into a 100ml TAE buffer containing 7-10ul EtBr and put it on a rocker for 10 min and then wash it with 100ml of TAE buffer without EtBr and then look on a UV Transilluminator. This method works fine.
