Abstract

The invention discloses a method for detecting 5-aldehyde cytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) by utilizing a piperidine aqueous solution. Piperidine specifically reacts with 5-aldehyde cytosine in DNA with a fluorescent mark; the 5-aldehyde cytosine can be detected while the 5-aldehyde cytosine in the DNA is oxidized into 5-aldehyde cytosine through potassium perruthenate, and subjected to piperidine treatment, and the position and the quantity of the 5-hydroxymethylcytosine can be obtained by comparing two reacting DNA bands in a DNA polyacrylamide modified adhesive. By adopting the method, detection of the 5-aldehyde cytosine and the 5-hydroxymethylcytosine can be rapidly, effectively and sensitively achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for detecting 5-formylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in DNA by using a piperidine aqueous solution, belonging to the field of DNA sequencing. Background technique [0002] As an important branch of genetics, epigenetics mainly studies changes in gene expression levels based on non-gene sequence changes, and its main contents include DNA methylation, genomic imprinting, RNA interference, and histone modification. In recent years, more and more people have begun to pay attention to DNA methylation, and related research has been carried out in full swing. DNA methylation is one of the earliest discovered modification pathways, and its existence is closely related to gene silencing and expression. Usually, under the action of methyltransferase, methylation occurs at the C5 position of cytosine to form 5-methylcytosine (5mC), and then after treatment with TET family enzymes, 5mC is converted into 5-hydroxymethylc...
