title: Highly selective detection of 5-methylcytosine using photochemical ligation.
abstract: We report the nonenzymatic detection of 5-methylcytosine by using template-directed photoligation through 5-cyanovinyl-2'-deoxyuridine ((C)U) with high selectivity and present a new methylation detection method using a photoligation-based DNA chip assay.
