LINE-1 transcription in round spermatids is associated with accretion of 5-carboxylcytosine in their open reading frames
Blythe et al investigate the patterns of oxidized forms of the 5-methylcytosine DNA modification during spermatogenesis. They find that open reading frames of evolutionarily young and transcriptionally active LINE-1 retrotransposons are enriched in 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC) during spermatid maturati...
