5-Methyl-2'-deoxycytidine
5-Methyl-2'-deoxycytidine (5-MedCyd) is a modified nucleoside that, upon integration into single-stranded DNA, can function as a cis-acting signal for de novo methylation. This compound is utilized in epigenetics research to study DNA methylation mechanisms in both cellular and biochemical assays.
