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 ...

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

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, ...

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 ...

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

In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be helpful for learners to begin with the linear presentation of how ...

Cars patched up after a wreck may look fixed—but never run quite as before. The same may hold true for chromatin, according to a study published in Science on November 6. In response to double-strand ...

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