Abstract
DNA methylation has been studied comprehensively and linked to both normal neurodevelopment and neurological diseases. The recent identification of several new DNA modifications, including 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, 5-formylcytosine, and 5-carboxylcytosine, has given us a new perspective on the previously observed plasticity in 5mC-dependent regulatory processes. Here, we review the latest research into these cytosine modifications, focusing mainly on their roles in neurodevelopment and diseases.Entities:
