From memory formation to disease prevention, scientists are uncovering how chromatin structure, enzyme evolution, and epigenetic regulators orchestrate gene activity. Recent breakthroughs reveal how ...

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 ...

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, ...

A novel, freely available AI tool has cut the time it takes to determine chromatin structure from days to minutes. The 3D structure of DNA is important for controlling cell-specific gene expression ...

DNA inside the nucleus is not packed as a rigid regular fiber—linker histone H1 dynamically binds and loosely "glues" ...

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 ...

Understanding a drug’s mechanism of action (MOA) can greatly increase the likelihood of successful clinical trials by identifying biomarkers of patient response and providing a rationale for ...
