Abstract in brief

  • This study introduces a new ultra-sensitive optical mapping technology that can analyze the distribution of 5hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), an important epigenetic marker linked to gene regulation and cancer, across entire chromosomes on single DNA molecules.
  • Unlike traditional sequencing methods, which struggle with noise and limited insights into complex or low-5hmC regions, this long-read approach generates continuous profiles spanning up to 1 million base pairs, revealing detailed epigenetic landscapes in variable regions like the HLA gene complex.
  • The research shows that 5hmC levels detected by this technique correlate with gene activity and provide insights into long-range epigenetic patterns at the single-molecule level, advancing understanding of epigenetic variation within and between cells.]

@PDevaux_FD @bionanogenomics Hi Pierre, in addition to methylation we can also map 5hmC using an additional color. https://t.co/E7KCXR7BOd https://t.co/VQTrf4jgow
