In the citing paper
“TET proteins can oxidize 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), 5-formyl cytosine (5fC), and 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC) (He et al., 2011; Ito et al., 2011; Tahiliani et al., 2009).”
From Influence of Metabolism on Epigenetics and Disease (2013) · cites this paper as Ito et al., 2011
In the citing paper
“TET-catalyzed oxidation of 5mC followed by decarboxylation or base excision is strongly suspected of contributing to DNA demethylation (Cortellino et al., 2011; He et al., 2011; Ito et al., 2011), yet there are currently conflicting reports regarding the effect of TET inactivation on global DNA methylation patterns in somatic cells (Figueroa et al., 2010; Ko et al., 2010; Yamazaki et al., 2012).”
From Influence of Metabolism on Epigenetics and Disease (2013) · cites this paper as Ito et al., 2011

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.
