Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: DNA methylation at the fifth position of cytosine (5mC) is a common epigenetic alteration affecting a range of cellular processes. In recent years, 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), an oxidized form of 5mC, has risen broad interests as a potential biomarker for lung cancer diagnosis and survival. METHODS: We analyzed the epigenome-wide 5hmC profiles of paired lung tumor and adjacent normal tissues,...
