Role of Tet1 and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in cocaine action
Expression of TET1 dioxygenase, which catalyzes the conversion of 5-methylcytosine to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, is downregulated by repeated cocaine administration in mouse nucleus accumbens, where it controls ...

Genome-wide antagonism between 5-hydroxymethylcytosine and DNA methylation in the adult mouse brain
Mounting evidence points to critical roles for DNA modifications, including 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and its oxidized forms, in the development, plasticity and disorders of the mammalian nervous system. The nove...

Subtelomeric hotspots of aberrant 5-hydroxymethylcytosine-mediated epigenetic modifications during reprogramming to pluripotency
Mammalian somatic cells can be directly reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) by introducing defined sets of transcription factors. Somatic cell reprogramming involves epigenomic reconfigura...

Tet-mediated covalent labelling of 5-methylcytosine for its genome-wide detection and sequencing
5-methylcytosine is an epigenetic mark that affects a broad range of biological functions in mammals. The chemically inert methyl group prevents direct labelling for subsequent affinity purification and detect...

Article
Tet-assisted bisulfite sequencing of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine
A complete understanding of the potential function of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC), a DNA cytosine modification in mammalian cells, requires an accurate single-base resolution sequencing method. Here we des...

Article
5-hmC–mediated epigenetic dynamics during postnatal neurodevelopment and aging
DNA methylation in the context of epigenetics occurs on the 5' position of cytosine, which can be further oxidized by enzymes from the Ten-eleven translocation (Tet) family, resulting in 5-hydroxymethylcytosin...

Article
Selective chemical labeling reveals the genome-wide distribution of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine
Song et al. present the first method for global analysis of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, a recently identified epigenetic modification in mammalian cells. They use a bacteriophage-derived enzyme to tag the hydroxymet...

A small molecule enhances RNA interference and promotes microRNA processing
Little is known about the regulation of RNA interference (RNAi). Shan et al. constructed a reporter system to monitor RNAi activity and identified a small molecule that increases RNAi by facilitating the interact...
