5-Methylcytosine-Selective Osmium Oxidation
Nucleosides, Nucleotides and Nucleic Acids, 2007Methylcytosine was efficiently and easily modified through osmium oxidation. Methylcytosine-selective oxidation is applicable to detection of the cytosine methylation status at a specific site of a long sequence using the formation of a bulge structure by hybridization with a guide DNA.

5-Methylcytosine Analysis by RNA-BisSeq
20185-Methylcytosine (m5C) is a posttranscriptional RNA modification identified in both stable and highly abundant tRNAs and rRNAs, and in mRNAs. Many known or novel m5C sites have been validated by using advanced high-throughput techniques combined with next-generation sequencing (NGS), especially RNA bisulfite sequencing (RNA-BisSeq).

Identification of 5-Methylcytosine in Complex Genomes
Methods, 1999Cytosine methylation is attracting new attention for regulatory roles in gene expression and there is an increasing interest in detecting, at a single-base resolution, any 5-methylcytosine in genes from complex genomes. Differential base modification by chemicals followed by PCR-based genomic sequencing procedures can provide the resolution ...

Photochemical Deamination and Demethylation of 5-Methylcytosine
Chemical Research in Toxicology, 1996Cytosine methylation is believed to play a pivotal role in eucaryotic cellular development as well as in viral latency. We have been investigating chemical mechanisms for the perturbation of methylation patterns, including the effects of ultraviolet radiation. We observed that, upon exposure to UV light, 5-methylcytosine (5mC) was converted to thymine,

Organization of 5-methylcytosine in chromosomal DNA
Biochemistry, 1978The 5-methylcytosine residues of L-cells have been labeled with [methyl-3H]-L-methionine and their chromatin localization studied using deoxyribonucleases. The kinetics of micrococcal nuclease digestion showed that the methylated cytosine residues are concentrated within regions resistant to nuclease digestion and preferentially missing from those ...

The repair of 5-methylcytosine deamination damage
1993The fact that sites of cytosine methylation in DNA are mutagenic hotspots, and that the genome of higher eukaryotes is thus depleted of the modified sequence CpG is common knowledge — certainly in the field of DNA methylation. The reason why 5-methylcytosine is an endogenous mutagen would also appear to be clear: 5-methylcytosine deaminates to thymine,

5-Methylcytosine localised in mammalian constitutive heterochromatin
Nature, 1974DEOXY-5-METHYLCYTIDYLIC acid (5-MeC) is an almost universal, although minor component of DNA in plants and animals. It makes up 4–7% of the bases in plants1, no more than 1.5% of the bases in the mouse2 and even less in the human3. 5-MeC itself is not incorporated directly into DNA.

5-Methylcytosine and Its Derivatives
2014Epigenetics has undergone an explosion in the past decade. DNA methylation, consisting of the addition of a methyl group at the fifth position of cytosine (5-methylcytosine, 5-mC) in a CpG dinucleotide, is a well-recognized epigenetic mark with important functions in cellular development and pathogenesis.

Direct Labeling of 5-Methylcytosine and Its Applications
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2007Cytosine methylation is one of the most important epigenetic events, and much effort has been directed to develop a simple reaction for methylcytosine detection. In this paper, we describe the design of tag-attachable ligands for direct methylcytosine labeling and their application to fluorescent and electrochemical assays.

RNA 5-Methylcytosine Analysis by Bisulfite Sequencing
2015Cells have developed molecular machineries, which can chemically modify DNA and RNA nucleosides. One particular and chemically simple modification, (cytosine-5) methylation (m(5)C), has been detected both in RNA and DNA suggesting universal use of m(5)C for the function of these nucleotide polymers.
