Description

• 5-Methyl-2'-deoxycytidine in single-stranded DNA can act in cis to signal de novo DNA methylation.
• It has been used in epigenetics research to investigate the dynamics of DNA methylation pattern in the control of gene expression.
• A cytidine analog and an isostere of thymidine.
• 5-Methyl-2'-deoxycytidine is a pyrimidine nucleoside that when incorporated into single-stranded DNA can act in cis to signal de novo DNA methylation.
