Category:GO:0141166 ! chromosomal 5-methylcytosine DNA demethylation pathway
name: chromosomal 5-methylcytosine DNA demethylation pathway
namespace: biological_process
def: "A process that chemically modifies 5-methylcytosine (5meC) to make it a substrate for the base excision repair pathway, which then restores the unmodified cytosine." [PMID:21862972, PMID:31546611, PMID:36478523]
comment: Note that this term describes the biochemical pathways of chromosomal cytosine demethylation but is agnostic to the effect on gene expression. If the data supports it, consider co-annotating to 'positive regulation of gene expression, epigenetic ; GO:0044029' or a child.
