Description High-resolution detection of genome-wide 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) sites of small-scale samples remains challenging. Here, we present hmC- CATCH, a bisulfite-free, base-resolution method for the genome-wide detection of 5hmC. hmC-CATCH is based on selective 5hmC oxidation, chemical labeling and subsequent C-to-T transition during PCR. Requiring only nanoscale input genomic DNA samples, hmC- CATCH enabled us to detect genome-wide hydroxyme- thylome of human embryonic stem cells in a cost-effective manner. Further application of hmC-CATCH to cell-free DNA (cfDNA) of healthy donors and cancer patients revealed base-resolution hydroxymethylome in the human cfDNA for the first time. We anticipate that our chemical biology approach will find broad applications in hydroxymethylome analysis of limited biological and clinical samples.
