Changes in the bases that make up DNA act as markers, telling a cell which genes it should read and which it shouldn't. A British team has now introduced a new method that makes it possible to enrich the rare gene segments that contain the modified base hydroxymethylcytosine and to identify individual hydroxymethylcytosine molecules in DNA.
