However, based on the traditional bisulfite method, 5-hmc and 5-mc cannot be distinguished. Spark gene technology has established the chemical oxidation method combined with bisulfite conversion sequencing technology (oxbs SEQ), which can not only accurately detect DNA methylation and exclude the influence of DNA hydroxymethylation, but also accurately detect DNA hydroxymethylation with single base resolution at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BS transformation cannot distinguish between 5mC and 5hmc<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In traditional bisulfite sequencing, 5hmc becomes CMS after bisulfite treatment.

In the sequencing results of traditional BS, the modification level of 5mC is actually the combination of 5mC and 5hmc signals. It is urgent to establish an experimental technology to accurately distinguish the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&nbsp;Methods<\/strong>\uff1a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oxbs sequencing technology was used to detect and quantify DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation in mouse embryonic stem cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this study, the experimental technology of chemical oxidation combined with bisulfite treatment was established for the first time. This technology first oxidizes 5hmc to 5FC, which can then be converted into u by bisulfite, thus eliminating the signal interference of 5hmc to 5mC, achieving the purpose of accurately detecting 5mC in the genome. Using this technology to study mouse embryonic stem cells, it was found that 5hmc has a high content in CGI related transcriptional regulatory regions and Line1 elements, indicating that it may play an important role in epigenetic reprogramming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"337\"
