Zika Virus Infects Human Cortical Neural Progenitors and Attenuates Their Growth

TL;DR: It is shown that a strain of the ZIKV, MR766, serially passaged in monkey and mosquito cells efficiently infects human neural progenitor cells (hNPCs) derived from induced pluripotent stem cells, identified as a direct ZikV target, and reveals transcriptional dysregulation, notably of cell-cycle-related pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Base-Resolution Analysis of 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine in the Mammalian Genome

TL;DR: Application of Tet-assisted bisulfite sequencing to embryonic stem cells not only confirms widespread distribution of 5hmC in the mammalian genome but also reveals sequence bias and strand asymmetry at5hmC sites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective chemical labeling reveals the genome-wide distribution of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine

TL;DR: This method uses the T4 bacteriophage β-glucosyltransferase to transfer an engineered glucose moiety containing an azide group onto the hydroxyl group of 5-hmC, a recently identified epigenetic modification present in substantial amounts in certain mammalian cell types.
