DeepSF-4mC: A deep learning model for predicting DNA cytosine 4mC methylation sites leveraging sequence features.

N-methylcytosine (4mC) is a DNA modification involving the addition of a methyl group to the fourth nitrogen atom of the cytosine base. This modification may influence gene regulation, providing potential insights into gene control mechanisms. Traditional laboratory methods for detecting 4mC DNA methylation have limitations, but the rise of artificial intelligence has introduced efficient computational strategies for 4mC site prediction.
