Differentiated Visualization of Single-Cell 5-Hydroxymethylpyrimidines with Microfluidic Hydrogel Encoding

5-Hydroxymethyluracil (5hmU) is found in the genomes of a diverse range of organisms as another kind of 5-hydroxymethylpyrimidine, with the exception of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC). The biological function of 5hmU has not been well explored due to lacking both specific 5hmU recognition and single-cell analysis methods. Here we report differentiated visualization of single-cell 5hmU and 5hmC with microfluidic hydrogel encoding...
