Deciphering TAL effectors for 5-methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine recognition

Transcription activator-like effector proteins recognise specific DNA sequences via tandem repeats. Here the authors demonstrate TALEs can recognise the methylated bases 5mC and 5hmC, enabling them to detect epigenetic modifications.
