Researchers at Kanazawa University have used nanoendoscopy atomic force microscopy to create nanoscale maps of nuclear ...

Changes in Caenorhabditis elegans lysosome metabolism can be carried through generations via inherited histone modifications. A team of researchers from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (MD, USA), ...

Once considered passive messengers of genetic information, RNA molecules are now understood to play an active and dynamic role in gene regulation, modulated by a rich layer of chemical modifications ...

Salt stress remains a critical challenge for plant growth, especially in crops like pea (Pisum sativum L.). This study explores the role of histone modifications in regulating pea's response to salt ...

Sweeping changes are on the way for millions of SNAP recipients in 12 states that have banned unhealthy food and/or drinks from being purchased using benefits—and more could soon join them. The ...

Gov. Kathy Hochul threatened to redraw New York's congressional map in response to redistricting plans in Texas. Aidin Bharti/Office of Governor Kathy Hochul Gov. Kathy Hochul is on a mission . . . to ...

Cloud seeding operations have covered about one-sixth of Texas, spanning approximately 31 million acres across the Northwest, West and South regions of the state as of 2022, according to the Texas ...

Histone modification is an epigenetic mechanism that enables fine-tuning of gene expression. Mutation or dysregulation of proteins associated with histone modification (called “writers,” “erasers,” ...

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

A new study has created a map of DNA modification in two regions of the brain critical to learning, memory and emotional regulation. The map offers a benchmark for ensuring stem cell-based models ...

A UCLA-led study has provided an unprecedented look at how gene regulation evolves during human brain development, showing how the 3D structure of chromatin - DNA and proteins - plays a critical role.

A recent study unveils new insights into the complex regulatory mechanisms behind strawberry fruit ripening. By analyzing histone modifications, researchers have mapped a detailed chromatin structure ...
