Abstract excerpt
5-methyl-C (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethyl-C (5hmC) are epigenetic marks with well known and putative roles in gene regulation, respectively. These two DNA covalent modifications cannot be distinguished by bisulfite sequencing or restriction digestion, the standard methods of 5mC detection. The methylated CpG island recovery assay (MIRA), however, specifically detects 5mC but not 5hmC. We further developed MIRA for the...
