{BiQ} Analyzer {HiMod}: An Interactive Software Tool for High-throughput Locus-specific Analysis of 5-Methylcytosine and its Oxidized Derivatives [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Recent data suggest important biological roles for oxidative modifications of methylated cytosines, specifically hydroxymethylation, formylation and carboxylation. Several assays are now available for profiling these DNA modifications genome-wide as well

Total DNA methylation as a biomarker of DNA damage and tumor malignancy in intracranial meningiomas

open access: yesBMC Cancer, 2020
Background Meningiomas are the most common primary intracranial tumors in adults. They are initially detected with neuroimaging techniques, but definite histological diagnosis requires tumor surgery to collect tumor tissue.

Genetic variants in m5C modification core genes are associated with the risk of Chinese pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia: A five-center case–control study

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2023
ObjectiveTo explore the functions of the polymorphisms in 5-methylcytosine (m5C) modification-related coding genes on the susceptibility of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).MethodsCase–control study and multinomial logistic regression ...

TET2 inhibits differentiation of embryonic stem cells but does not overcome methylation-induced gene silencing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
TET2 is a methylcytosine dioxygenase that is frequently mutated in myeloid malignancies, notably myelodysplasia and acute myeloid leukemia. TET2 catalyses the conversion of 5′-methylcytosine to 5′-hydroxymethylcytosine within DNA and has been implicated ...

DNA of Drosophila melanogaster contains 5-methylcytosine [PDF]

open access: yesThe EMBO Journal, 2000
It is commonly accepted that the DNA of Drosophila melanogaster does not contain 5-methylcytosine, which is essential in the development of most eukaryotes. We have developed a new, highly specific and sensitive assay to detect the presence of 5-methylcytosine in genomic DNA.

5-methylcytosine mediates nuclear export of mRNA [PDF]

open access: yesCell Research, 2017
5-methylcytosine was shown before to be an epitranscriptomic mark. Yang et al. now explored the unique topology of this mRNA modification, identified its writer and demonstrated its involvement in nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling mediated by a specific reader.

5-Methylcytosine and 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine Signatures Underlying Pediatric Cancers

open access: yesEpigenomes, 2019
In addition to the genetic variations, recent evidence has shown that DNA methylation of both 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) underlies the pathogenesis of pediatric cancer. Given the high mortality rate, there is an urgent need

DNA Hydroxymethylation at the Interface of the Environment and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most prevalent forms of chronic liver disorders among adults, children, and adolescents, and a growing epidemic, worldwide.

Genome-wide identification of 5-methylcytosine sites in bacterial genomes by high-throughput sequencing of MspJI restriction fragments.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Single-molecule Real-Time (SMRT) sequencing can easily identify sites of N6-methyladenine and N4-methylcytosine within DNA sequences, but similar identification of 5-methylcytosine sites is not as straightforward.

Unraveling Transcriptome Profile, Epigenetic Dynamics, and Morphological Changes in Psoriasis-like Keratinocytes: “Insights into Similarity with Psoriatic Lesional Epidermis”

open access: yesCells, 2023
Keratinocytes are one of the primary cells affected by psoriasis inflammation. Our study aimed to delve deeper into their morphology, transcriptome, and epigenome changes in response to psoriasis-like inflammation.
