Enzymatic approaches and bisulfite sequencing cannot distinguish between 5-methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in DNA

DNA cytosine methylation (5mC) is highly abundant in mammalian cells and is associated with transcriptional repression. Recently, hydroxymethylcytosine (hmC) has been detected at high levels in certain human cell types; however, its roles are unknown. Due to the structural similarity between 5mC and...
