The majority of 5hmC is nucleosome-associated in naïve B cells
DNA demethylation is essential for gene activation and is primarily mediated by the Ten-Eleven-Translocation (TET) dioxygenase family. TET initiates demethylation by oxidizing 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), a chemically stable derivative that is not onl...
