The method employs a specific chemical oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine to 5-formylcytosine, which subsequently converts to uracil during bisulphite treatment. en.wikipedia.org

The old calcium bisulphite method was used for fiber production until 1963, when the new more eco-friendly magnesium bisulphite method was introduced. en.wikipedia.org

All strategies assume that bisulphite-induced conversion of unmethylated cytosines to uracil is complete, and this serves as the basis of all subsequent techniques. en.wikipedia.org
