5-formylcytosine (5-foc) and 5-carboxycytosine (5-cac) have shown potential regulatory effects in the field of epigenetic modification. As more transient intermediates in the DNA demethylation pathway, 5-foC and 5-caC are further oxidized derivatives of 5-hmC. The methylated cytosine in the genome is not a stable DNA modification. Methylation and methylation seem to show circular "circular" characteristics. Studies have shown that 5-mC derivatives (5-hmC, 5-foC, and 5-caC) have potential functions in various cellular processes. With the emergence of the important position of methylation modification in tumors and other diseases, the process of methylation modification has received more and more attention. The abundance of 5-foC and 5-caC in the genome is about 40 to 1000 times lower than that of 5hmC. This function further increases the difficulty of quantitative detection. The 5-foC and 5-caC methods are also derived from 5mC. The functions of 5-foC and 5-caC need to be further studied.
