Application
2'-Deoxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)cytidine (5-hmdC): the Sixth Nucleoside of the Genome
2'-Deoxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)cytidine (5-hmdC) and its base 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) were recently discovered as an oxidation product of 2’-deoxy-5-methylcytidine [D3610] in mammalian DNA, particularly in stem cell DNA. The function of 5-hmdC is currently not clear, but it is assumed that in stem cells they might be intermediates of an active demethylation process. The detecting 5-hmdC in a genome has been investigated.
