Abstract

We report that deamination coupled with 5-carboxyvinyl-2'-deoxyuridine-mediated photoligation causes the heat-induced transition of 5-methylcytosine to thymine with high selectivity and efficiency without any side reaction. The difference of deamination rate between 5-methylcytosine and cytosine is useful for evaluation of DNA methylation status and the study of gene expression and stability.
