5-Methylcytidine is a modified nucleoside derived from 5-methylcytosine and is a minor constituent of RNA as well as DNA for certain organisms. Roughly one to two residues of 5-methylcytidine occur in every 1,000 RNA residues. It has been used in epigenetics research, especially in studies involving DNA methylation...
