In contrast, 45S rDNA arrays display strong and consistent accumulation of oxi-mCs, especially 5fC and 5caC, in transcriptionally active nucleolar organizing regions, supported by both sequencing and cytological evidence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings suggest that oxidative cytosine modifications are not randomly distributed but are linked to chromatin state and transcriptional activity, particularly in rDNA loci.
