Downloaded from genesdev.cshlp.org on November 7, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press RESEARCH COMMUNICATION Genome-wide analysis of Mammalian genomes are chemically modified by DNA 5-hydroxymethylcytosine cytosine methylation, an inheritable epigenetic mark that is implicated in many biological and pathological distribution reveals its dual processes, including gene regulation, genomic imprint- ing, X-chromosome inactivation, suppression of trans- function in transcriptional posable elements, and tumorigenesis (Cedar and Bergman regulation in mouse embryonic 2009; Ooi et al. 2009). Genome-wide studies of mamma- lian DNA methylation have shown that 5-methylcytosine stem cells (5mC) is widely distributed across the genome in a non- 1,2,7 3,4 3,4 random manner (Weber et al. 2007; Fouse et al. 2008; Hao Wu, Ana C.
