Comprehensive Summary 5‐Methylcytosine (5mC) plays pivotal roles in numerous biological processes. To gain a deeper understanding of the functions 5mC, it is essential to develop methods for its quantitative analysis. Herein, we engineered repressor silencing 1 (ROS1) protein enhance glycosylase/lyase activity towards resulting an ROS1 (eROS1) that can effectively excise 5mC from DNA. Using eROS1, developed method termed ROS1‐mediated (eRMQ) analysis, locus‐specific quantification genomic This capitalizes on ability eROS1 selectively cleave which creates one‐nucleotide gap. The presence this gap hinders extension DNA polymerase, leading reduction products be evaluated using real‐time PCR (qPCR). limit detection eRMQ was as low fM. method, achieved analysis at individual sites within and demonstrated significant levels lung cancer tissues compared adjacent normal tissues. Taken together, study introduces DNA, offering valuable tool exploring epigenetic regulation human diseases.
