Chemical and enzymatic modifications of 5-methylcytosine at the intersection of DNA damage, repair, and epigenetic reprogramming
The DNA of all living organisms is persistently damaged by endogenous reactions including deamination and oxidation. Such damage, if not repaired correctly, can result in mutations that drive tumor development. In addition to chemical damage, recent studies have established that DNA bases can be enz...
