Difference between 5-Methylcytosine and DNA methylation

5-Methylcytosine vs. DNA methylation

5-Methylcytosine is a methylated form of the DNA base cytosine that may be involved in the regulation of gene transcription. DNA methylation is a process by which methyl groups are added to the DNA molecule.

Similarities between 5-Methylcytosine and DNA methylation

5-Methylcytosine and DNA methylation have 13 things in common (in Unionpedia): Bisulfite sequencing, CpG site, Cytosine, Deamination, DNA methyltransferase, Epigenetics, Gene expression, Methyl group, Restriction enzyme, Thymine, Transcription (biology), Uracil, 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine.

Bisulfite sequencing

Bisulfite sequencing (also known as bisulphite sequencing) is the use of bisulfite treatment of DNA to determine its pattern of methylation.

CpG site

The CpG sites or CG sites are regions of DNA where a cytosine nucleotide is followed by a guanine nucleotide in the linear sequence of bases along its 5' → 3' direction.

Cytosine

Cytosine (C) is one of the four main bases found in DNA and RNA, along with adenine, guanine, and thymine (uracil in RNA).

DNA methyltransferase

In biochemistry, the DNA methyltransferase (DNA MTase) family of enzymes catalyze the transfer of a methyl group to DNA.

Epigenetics

Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene function that do not involve changes in the DNA sequence.

Methyl group

A methyl group is an alkyl derived from methane, containing one carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms — CH3.

Restriction enzyme

A restriction enzyme or restriction endonuclease is an enzyme that cleaves DNA into fragments at or near specific recognition sites within the molecule known as restriction sites.

Thymine

---> Thymine (T, Thy) is one of the four nucleobases in the nucleic acid of DNA that are represented by the letters G–C–A–T.

Transcription (biology)

Transcription is the first step of gene expression, in which a particular segment of DNA is copied into RNA (especially mRNA) by the enzyme RNA polymerase.

Uracil

Uracil (U) is one of the four nucleobases in the nucleic acid of RNA that are represented by the letters A, G, C and U. The others are adenine (A), cytosine (C), and guanine (G).
