Abstract
Provided are a method and a kit for detecting 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in a nucleic acid. The method is a method for detecting 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in a nucleic acid, comprising the steps of: (1) oxidizing 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in a nucleic acid sample by treating the nucleic acid sample with a tungstic acid-based oxidizing agent comprising peroxotungstic acid, tungstic acid, a salt thereof, or a combination thereof with a reoxidizing agent; and (2) determining the position of the oxidized 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in the nucleic acid sample.
