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 ...

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 ...

Google’s artificial intelligence research laboratory where AlphaFold was developed—has officially released a new machine ...

A picture of a mouse MII stage eggs with the location of chromosomes (green) and the distribution of the histone modification H3K4me3 (purple). The team confirmed that H3K4me3 was significantly ...

It is crucial for organisms to be able to control which genes are expressed in which cells and when. Naturally occurring chemical modifications of DNA-binding histone proteins are believed to play an ...

In a recent study published in the journal Science Advances, a group of researchers investigated the role of histone modifications in human aging by developing and evaluating histone-specific age ...

What is the histone code? Different chemical marks, such as acetylation, methylation, or phosphorylation, are made to numerous residues on the N-terminal tails of histone proteins. Some posit that ...

DNA and RNA methylation, initially thought to operate as distinct pathways, have been shown to interact closely, shifting our understanding of gene regulation. A team of researchers from the ...

Epigenetics is an emerging field of scientific research exploring the study of gene expression changes that occur without alterations to the DNA sequence itself. Image Credit: Juan ...
