5-Methyl-2'-deoxycytidine

5-Methyl-2'-deoxycytidine is a pyrimidine nucleoside that when incorporated into single-stranded DNA can act in cis to signal de novo DNA methylation. It has been used in epigenetics research to investigate the dynamics of DNA methylation pattern in the control of gene expression.Formal Name: 2'-deoxy-5-methyl-cytidine. CAS Number: 838-07-3.
