De novo DNA methylation drives 5hmC accumulation in mouse zygotes

Zygotic epigenetic reprogramming entails genome-wide DNA demethylation that is accompanied by Ten-Eleven Translocation 3 (Tet3)-driven oxidation of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC)1-4. Here we demonstrate using detailed immunofluorescence analysis and ultra-sensitive LC/MS ba...
