Hydroxymethylation profile of cell-free DNA is a biomarker for early colorectal cancer
Early detection of cancer will improve survival rates. The blood biomarker 5-hydroxymethylcytosine has been shown to discriminate cancer. In a large covariate-controlled study of over two thousand individual blood samples, we created, tested and explored

Colorectal cancer progression to metastasis is associated with dynamic genome-wide biphasic 5-hydroxymethylcytosine accumulation. [PDF]
Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) progression from adenoma to adenocarcinoma is associated with global reduction in 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC). DNA hypomethylation continues upon liver metastasis.

Although high levels of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) accumulate in mammalian neurons, our knowledge of its roles in terminal differentiation or as an intermediate in active DNA demethylation is incomplete.

Dynamics of 5-methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine during pronuclear development in equine zygotes produced by ICSI [PDF]
Background: Global epigenetic reprogramming is considered to be essential during embryo development to establish totipotency. In the classic model first described in the mouse, the genome-wide DNA demethylation is asymmetric between the paternal and the ...

Loss of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine correlates with increasing morphologic dysplasia in melanocytic tumors [PDF]
DNA methylation is the most well studied epigenetic modification in cancer biology. 5-hydroxymethylcytosine is an epigenetic mark that can be converted from 5-methylcytosine by the ten-eleven translocation gene family.

Genome-wide characterization of cytosine-specific 5-hydroxymethylation in normal breast tissue
Despite recent evidence that 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) possesses roles in gene regulation distinct from 5-methylcytosine (5mC), relatively little is known regarding the functions of 5hmC in mammalian tissues.

Cell‐free DNA 5‐hydroxymethylcytosine as a marker for common cancer detection
Background Early cancer detection can dramatically improve clinical outcomes and greatly reduce economic burden of patients. Plasma cell–free DNA (cfDNA) 5‐hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) is an emerging epigenetic marker for cancer diagnosis.

Integrated single-cell sequencing of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine and genomic DNA using scH&G-seq
Summary: The asymmetric distribution of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) between two DNA strands of a chromosome enables endogenous reconstruction of cellular lineages at an individual-cell-division resolution. Further, when integrated with data on genomic

5-Hydroxymethylcytosine Is Not Present in Appreciable Quantities in Arabidopsis DNA [PDF]
5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) is an intermediate in active demethylation in metazoans, as well as a potentially stable epigenetic mark. Previous reports investigating 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in plants have reached conflicting conclusions.
