5-hydroxymethyl-cytosine enrichment of non-committed cells is not a universal feature of vertebrate development

5-hydroxymethyl-cytosine (5-hmc) is a cytosine modification that is relatively abundant in mammalian pre-implantation embryos and embryonic stem cells (Esc) derived from mammalian blastocysts. Recent observations imply that both 5-hmc and Tet1/2/3 proteins, catalyzing the conversion of 5-methyl-...
