The immune system's B cells create antibodies that can mount a response against just about anything—either destroying a pathogen or instructing the rest of the immune system to go after the offender.

Previously, linker histone H1 was thought to bind stably to nucleosomes and compact chromatin by forming an ordered, “rigid” structure (left). In this study, we show that H1 binds to nucleosomes ...

These modifications increase chromatin accessibility, influencing growth, differentiation, and ion transport, with contrasting effects on normal and colorectal cancer cells. Study: Short-chain fatty ...

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

Every cell in a body contains the same genetic sequence, yet each cell expresses only a subset of those genes. These cell-specific gene expression patterns, which ensure that a brain cell is different ...
