Researchers say findings help to bridge the structure of the genome to its function in managing how genes are turned on and off.

The INO80 chromatin remodelling complex has various roles in genome maintenance, acting via nucleosome sliding and H2A.Z ...

What happens when you squeeze DNA? Can pressure reveal something about how our genetic material is packed, protected, and ...

This study is led by Dr. Yue Zhou (State Key Laboratory of Gene Function and Modulation Research, School of Advanced Agricultural Sciences, Peking-Tsinghua Center for Life Sciences, Peking University, ...

Aging is accompanied by widespread epigenetic reprogramming, including the loss of heterochromatin and altered chromatin-associated processes. These changes compromise transcriptional precision and ...

A new study on dogs found that chromatin's spatial structure has a significant role in the evolution of social behavior. Chromatin, the compact form of DNA, not only packages genetic material but also ...

This interesting study adapts machine learning tools to analyze movements of a chromatin locus in living cells in response to serum starvation. The machine learning approach developed is useful, the ...

Conventional studies on stem cell fates are primarily focused on transcription factors, with the limited consideration for 3D ...

In many eukaryotic systems during immune responses, mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) link cytoplasmic signaling to chromatin events by targeting transcription factors, chromatin remodeling ...

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 ...
