CDCA7, whose mutations alter DNA methylation pattern and cause immunodeficiency, is a novel sensor for a special class of methylated DNA. DNA methylation is a process in which a methyl group is ...
Alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (APA) is a gene regulatory mechanism used by cells under stress to upregulate proteostasis-promoting transcripts, but how cells achieve this remains poorly ...
A multiomics study of zebrafish spermatogenesis integrating scRNA-seq, scATAC-seq, and base-resolution DNA methylomes defines the chromatin and transcriptional states of germ cells, revealing the ...
A review in Clinical Epigenetics synthesizes growing evidence that paternal lifestyle and environmental exposures such as ...
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 ...
Join Dr. Emily Hodges, assistant professor of biochemistry at Vanderbilt University, to learn more about how the Hodges Lab is utilizing the 6-base genome to investigate the dynamics of enhancer DNA ...
The quality and effectiveness of medicinal herbs depend not only on their genetic blueprint but also on how they adapt to ...
Epigenetics plays a critical role in human health by regulating gene expression without the direct modification of DNA sequence. Aberrant epigenetic modifications mediated by changes in DNA and ...
Inside every cell, inside every nucleus, your continued existence depends on an incredibly complicated dance. Proteins are constantly wrapping and unwrapping DNA, and even minor missteps can lead to ...
