In a recent study published in Nature, researchers demonstrated that a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) protein functions as a histone mimic to disrupt the epigenetic ...

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 ...

Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene expression that do not involve alterations to the underlying DNA sequence. These changes can significantly impact gene activity and cellular ...

As the human body is developing, cells have to differentiate and specialize into certain specific types of cells, so they can carry out the correct function where they are supposed to, whether they ...

Epigenetics is an emerging field of scientific research exploring the study of gene expression changes that occur without alterations to the DNA sequence itself. Image Credit: Juan ...

Epigenetic inheritance mechanisms play fundamental roles in maintaining cellular memory of gene expression states. In fission yeast, histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) is methylated (H3K9me) at ...

Epigenetics is a rapidly growing field of study that focuses on the heritable changes in gene expression that occur without alterations to the underlying DNA sequence. These changes are caused by ...

The human genome may have been sequenced, but we are still learning about how it works. One of the features of the genome scientists are still deciphering is epigenetics, which refers to the various ...

Salt stress remains a critical challenge for plant growth, especially in crops like pea (Pisum sativum L.). This study explores the role of histone modifications in regulating pea's response to salt ...
