Cars patched up after a wreck may look fixed—but never run quite as before. The same may hold true for chromatin, according to a study published in Science on November 6. In response to double-strand ...

Thymalin, a thymic peptide complex, is being investigated for its potential role in immune signaling, gene expression, ...

The interplay between cellular metabolism and epigenetics has emerged as a major frontier in biomedical research, revealing ...

A team led by Professor Kazuhiro Maeshima of the National Institute of Genetics (ROIS) and SOKENDAI in Japan has developed a method to visualize different types of chromatin and reveal their distinct ...

Enhancers are pieces of DNA that act like switches, regulating when genes are turned on and off and how strongly they are ...

DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological ...

This Brush Up is sponsored by Cayman Chemical. Learn more about chemical inhibitors of histone modification. Histone modification affects how tightly DNA wraps around histone proteins, yielding ...

Scientists used GAGE-seq (genome architecture and gene expression by sequencing), a technique that measures both gene expression and physical contacts in the same single cell.
