Abstract

Highlights: [•] Ten-eleven translocation (TET) enzymes convert 5-mC to 5-hmC. [•] 5hmC can be repaired by thymine DNA glycosylase (TDG). [•] miR-29a targets to Tet1-3 and TDG mRNA and influences global 5hmC. [•] miR-29 can modulate epigenetics by targeting Tets and TDG. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
