• 5-hydroxymethylcytosine marks mammalian origins acting as a barrier to replication 

      Prikrylova, Terezia; Robertson, Julia; Ferrucci, Francesca; Konorska, Dorota Joanna; Aanes, Håvard; Manaf, Adeel; Zhang, Beibei; Vågbø, Cathrine Broberg; Kusnierczyk, Anna; Gilljam, Karin Margaretha; Løvkvam-Køster, Caroline; Otterlei, Marit; Dahl, John Arne; Enserink, Jorrit; Klungland, Arne; Robertson, Adam Brian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      In most mammalian cells, DNA replication occurs once, and only once between cell divisions. Replication initiation is a highly regulated process with redundant mechanisms that prevent errant initiation events. In lower ...
    • A novel method for the efficient and selective identification of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in genomic DNA 

      Robertson, Adam Brian; Dahl, John Arne; Vågbø, Cathrine Broberg; Tripathi, P; Krokan, Hans Einar; Klungland, Arne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      Recently, 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) was identified in mammalian genomic DNA. The biological role of this modification remains unclear; however, identifying the genomic location of this modified base will assist in ...
    • Biochemical reconstitution of TET1-TDG-BER-dependent active DNA demethylation reveals a highly coordinated mechanism 

      Weber, Alain R.; Krawczyk, Claudia; Robertson, Adam Brian; Kusnierczyk, Anna; Vågbø, Cathrine Broberg; Schürmann, David; Klungland, Arne; Schär, Primo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)
      Cytosine methylation in CpG dinucleotides is an epigenetic DNA modification dynamically established and maintained by DNA methyltransferases and demethylases. Molecular mechanisms of active DNA demethylation began to surface ...
