The Emerging Roles of Cytosine-5 Methylation in mRNAs

Research output: Contribution to journal › Short survey › peer-review

Abstract

Recent studies have unequivocally confirmed the presence of 5-methylcytosine (m5C) in mammalian mRNAs while indicating significant functional roles for this internal base modification type. Here, a brief history of m5C epitranscriptome research and a discussion of the important ways in which the field may now progress is presented.
