DNA demethylation - Introduction | Epigenetics | GATE/CSIR-NET

In this video, we explore how the discovery of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) has transformed our understanding of DNA methylation and its reversibility. Traditionally seen as a permanent gene-silencing mark, DNA methylation is now recognized as more dynamic, especially in the context of development, stem cell differentiation, and disease.
