Within the realm of genetic regulation, chromatin modifications such as histone methylation and acetylation play pivotal roles in the transcriptional control of genes. Disruptions in these processes ...

Much of the phenotypic variation that is observed within and between species is the result of differences in gene regulation: specifically when, where and how much the genes are expressed. Given the ...

A robust and quantitative map links chromatin modification and gene expression of cells during zebrafish embryogenesis.

A new study finds the proteins responsible for controlling which genes are expressed in a genome do more than simply turn a ...

An understanding of the origin and dynamics of heritable genetic variation within classical animal breeding programs is needed to provide the context for understanding the contributions and concerns ...

A collaborative effort has shed valuable light on how monoamine neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and now histamine help regulate brain physiology and behavior through chemical bonding of ...

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 ...

DNA can also be demethylated, either through passive or active processes. Passive DNA demethylation occurs when the methylation pattern is not replenished during DNA replication and gradually ...

Scientists have discovered that increased expression of a novel long non-coding RNA drives glioblastoma cell growth alongside ...

"RNA modifications are central to how cells respond to their environment," said Gudrun Stengel, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Alida Biosciences. "With EpiPlex Tri-Mod, we move beyond method ...
