Quantifying mammalian genomic DNA hydroxymethylcytosine content using solid-state nanopores

Abstract 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5 hmC), the oxidized form of 5-methylcytosine (5 mC), is a base modification with emerging importance in biology and disease. However, like most epigenetic elements, it is transparent to many conventional genetic techniques and is thus challenging to probe. Here, we...
