5-hydroxymethylcytosine marks promoters in colon that resist DNA hypermethylation in cancer
BACKGROUND: The discovery of cytosine hydroxymethylation (5hmC) as a mechanism that potentially controls DNA methylation changes typical of neoplasia prompted us to investigate its behaviour in colon cancer. 5hmC is globally reduced in proliferating cells such as colon tumours and the gut crypt prog...
