Excision of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine by DEMETER family DNA glycosylases

•DME and ROS1 DNA glycosylases excise both 5mC and 5hmC from DNA.•DNA demethylation can be reconstituted via 5hmC excision and subsequent BER.•Plants have no detectable amount of 5hmC in the genome.•Plants and animals have evolved distinct DNA demethylation systems. In plants and animals, 5-methylcy...
