Distribution of 5-methylcytosine in chromatin.

The content of 5-methylcytosine in eukaryotic DNA was measured by mass spectrometry. Almost equal amounts of methylated cytosine were found in the DNA of various tissues of the ...

Methylation of HoxA5 and HoxB5 and its relevance to expression during mouse development

Direct detection of methylated cytosine in DNA by use of the restriction enzyme Mspl

The extent of methylation of the internal C in the sequence CCGG in DNA from various eukaryotic sources has been determined using the restriction enzyme MspI known to be specifi...
