A genome-wide profiling of brain DNA hydroxymethylation in Alzheimer's disease

DNA methylation is a key epigenetic mechanism in brain aging and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The newly discovered 5-hydroxymethylcytosine mediates DNA demethylation, is highly abundant in the brain, and is dynamically regulated by life experiences. However, little is known about its genome-wide patterns and potential role in AD.
