Distribution of 5-methylcytosine in chromatin.
Open accessAbstract
The content of 5-methylcytosine in eukaryotic DNA was measured by mass spectrometry. Almost equal amounts of methylated cytosine were found in the DNA of various tissues of the chicken. When chromatin or nuclei were digested with micrococcal nuclease, 50% of the DNA was found to be nuclease resistant. In contrast to this, over 75% of the 5-methylcytosine was protected from nuclease digestion by chromatin proteins. These results suggest that 5-methylcytosine is nonrandomly distributed with respect to the nucleoproteins.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
