Sources of artifact in measurements of 6mA and 4mC abundance in eukaryotic genomic DNA

Abstract Background Directed DNA methylation on N6-adenine (6mA), N4-cytosine (4mC), and C5-cytosine (5mC) can potentially increase DNA coding capacity and regulate a variety of biological functions. These modifications are relatively abundant in bacteria, occurring in about a percent of all bases o...
