Researchers have determined whether a specific chemical modification of a protein that packages the genome called a histone affects gene activity and cell proliferation. Researchers have determined ...

DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological ...

RNA modifications have emerged as a pivotal area of focus in molecular biology and precision medicine. Recent breakthroughs highlight the dynamic nature of ...

Epigenetics is rewriting what we know about how our genes work, adapt, and sometimes fail. From chemical tags that switch genes on or off to RNA molecules that fine-tune expression, scientists are ...

A recent study led to the development of a powerful epigenetic editing technology. The system unlocks the ability to precisely program chromatin modifications at any specific position in the genome, ...

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

From DNA’s tightly packed chromatin to the precise on/off switches in regulatory sequences, scientists are uncovering how cells fine-tune gene expression. New research reveals surprising roles for ...

When a gene is turned on in a cell, it creates a ripple effect along the DNA strand, changing the physical structure of the ...

Mice and newts were applied to the one-step Cre-loxP organism creation technology by TAx9. In this study, the researchers succeeded in synthesizing a Cre-loxP integrated vector by placing a short DNA ...
