5-Methylcytidine is a modified nucleoside derived from 5-methylcytosine and is a minor constituent of RNA as well as DNA for certain organisms.{26198,26197} Roughly one to two residues of 5-methylcytidine occur in every 1,000 RNA residues.{26200} It has been used in epigenetics research, especially in studies involving DNA methylation processes involved in the establishment of genomic imprinting and in the control of gene expression and differentiation.{26199}
