    Glossary5-Hydroxymethylcytosine

    modified DNA base involved in gene expression regulation

    5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) is a modified form of the DNA base cytosine, which plays a role in the regulation of gene expression. It is often found in the brain and other tissues, and its presence is associated with active DNA demethylation processes, which can influence cellular functions and development.
