Methylome
5-Methylcytosine (5mC) is the methylated form of cystine, one of the four bases which makes up DNA. The total distribution of 5mC in the genome is defined as the methylome. Because patterns of methylation are often disrupted in disease pathology, the methylome can be used for therapeutic development.
