5-Methylcytosine hydrochloride is a well-characterized DNA modification in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. 5-Methylcytosine hydrochloride forms symmetrical methylation on CpG dinucleotides in DNA, stabilizes tRNA/rRNA structure in RNA, and affects mRNA translation. 5-Methylcytosine hydrochloride can be oxidized to generate 5hmC, 5fC, and 5caC. 5-Methylcytosine hydrochloride can be used in epigenetics, developmental biology, and the study of diseases such as colorectal cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma[1][2][3][4].
