A method is described for the unambiguous rapid identification and quantitation of the minor base, 5-methylcytosine, in DNA using high resolution mass spectrometry. This method can detect one 5-methylcytosine residue per 5500 nucleotides in +x 174 DNA, in a sample of less than 10 pg and requires les
A method for analyzing 5methylcytosine in DNA by gas chromatography is described. The method is based on degradation of the DNA to its free bases by treatment with trifluoroacetic acid and gas chromatography of the trimethylsilyl derivatives of the free bases. Chromatography of microgram amounts of
## Abstract Using a new technique for the determination of the extent of DNA methylation by comparing the incorporation of radioactivity from deoxycytidine‐2‐C^14^ into DNA cytosine and 5‐methylcytosine (5MC), the 5MC content of DNA was found to be a tissue specific property in two systems: (1) mou
A method combining gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS) with multiple specific ion monitoring has been developed for the detection of S-methylcytosine and the quantitation of the ratio of methylcytosine to cytosine in DNA. The trimethylsilyl derivatives of cytosine and S-methylcytosine o
