Abstract: |
The article discusses DNA modifications, specifically 5-methylcytosines (5mCs) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), which play crucial roles in gene regulation and epigenetics. It highlights the challenges in distinguishing between these modifications in DNA sequencing and explores various methods, including restriction enzyme-based assays, for accurate measurement and profiling of these modifications, allowing for a better understanding of their roles in cellular functions. |
