Cytosine modifications can alter the epigenetic landscape of a cell, affecting the binding of transcription factors, chromatin organizing complexes, and ultimately affecting gene expression and cell fate. 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) modifications are generated by the Ten-eleven-translocation (TET) family of enzymes, TET 1, 2, and 3, through the oxidation of methylated cytosines (5mC). The TET family is capable of further oxidizing 5hmC to 5fC and 5caC, leading to eventual DNA demethylation. However, 5hmC marks can also exist stably in DNA. Stable 5hmC is enriched in the gene bodies of activated genes in multiple tissues, as well as associated with regulatory regions such as enhancers. Alterations to 5hmC patterns have now been found in multiple diseases including osteoarthritis. Here, we describe a method to map 5hmC modifications by next-generation sequencing using a technique based on the selective modification and enrichment of the 5hmC mark. We additionally provide a bioinformatic analysis pipeline to interpret the resulting data.
