5-Hydroxymethylcytosine localizes to enhancer elements and is associated with survival in glioblastoma patients

Glioblastomas have distorted epigenomes. Here, the authors compare the genome-wide profiles of 5-methylcytosine and 5- hydroxymethylcytosine in glioblastoma and prefrontal cortex tissue reporting a correlation between these profiles and patients’ prognosis.
