Locus-specific enrichment analysis of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine reveals novel genes associated with breast carcinogenesis
2022-06-19
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> An imbalance in DNA methylation is a hallmark epigenetic alteration in cancer. The conversion of 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) to 5-hydroxymethyl cytosine (5-hmC), which causes the imbalance, results in aberrant gene expression. The precise functional role of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in breast cancer remains elusive. In this study, we describe the landscape of 5-mC and 5-hmC and their association wit...
