"The addition of a methyl group is primarily to the fifth carbon of cytosine (C), forming 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and is catalysed by DNA methyltransferases 1."
"The pattern of methylation in a specific organism or tissue sample (e.g. tumour) can be assessed by DNA-methylation profiling and is an increasingly important technique leading to novel disease identification and classification (e.g. high-grade astrocytoma with piloid features 2)."

"Rollin Hotchkiss, an American biochemist, in 1948, was responsible for the discovery - for the first time - of a methylated nitrogenous base (modified cytosine; specifically the 5-methylcytosine) in a preparation of calf thymus using paper chromatography as an investigation technique 3."
