Summary

How recent advances have improved the understanding of the possible biological roles of 5mC and TET proteins in the brain is discussed, including the genome-wide approach to map 5hmC in different genomic contexts, the gene knockout/knockdown approach to elucidate the functions of TET protein and 5hmCs, and the biochemical approach to uncover potential 5hm C readers.
