Researchers have determined whether a specific chemical modification of a protein that packages the genome called a histone affects gene activity and cell proliferation. Researchers have determined ...

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 ...

Our study profiled the dynamic epigenomic landscape, annotated regulatory DNA elements, and identified and validated BCL6B as ...

Molecular biologists decode the epigenetic silencing of problematic retroviral gene sequences. LMU molecular biologist Gunnar Schotta decodes the epigenetic silencing of problematic retroviral gene ...

Strands of DNA wrapped around a histone. Credit: Molekuul/Science Source Histones are among the most abundant proteins in the body. They act as spools that help compact DNA so our enormous genomes ...

Shade avoidance syndrome (SAS) allows a plant grown in a densely populated environment to maximize opportunities to access to sunlight. Although it is well established that SAS is accompanied by gene ...

Approach that uses cell’s own strategy of liquid-liquid phase separation protects synthetic modifications from being washed away by the tide of cell growth.

The accurate distribution of chromosomes in an oocyte is essential for the correct transmission of genetic information to the next generation. Now, researchers from Kyushu University have demonstrated ...

A research team led by Prof. Liu Xuncheng at the South China Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has shed new light on how plants fine-tune their response to far-red light. Subscribe ...

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are plant steroid hormones that are essential for diverse growth and developmental processes across the whole life cycle of plants. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the BR-related ...
