A spontaneous ring-opening reaction leads to a repair‐resistant thymine oxidation product in genomic DNA
The alphabet of modified DNA bases goes beyond the conventional four letters, with biological roles being found for many such modifications. Herein, we describe the observation of a modified thymine base that arises from spontaneous N1−C2 ring opening of the oxidation product 5‐formyl uracil, after...
