Histone modification is an epigenetic mechanism that regulates gene expression by altering chromatin structure and DNA accessibility for transcription. Histone modification is regulated by various ...
Molecular biologists decode the epigenetic silencing of problematic retroviral gene sequences. LMU molecular biologist Gunnar Schotta decodes the epigenetic silencing of problematic retroviral gene ...
Modification of histone tails, by acetylation, methylation or phosphorylation, affects the local chromatin structure and the transcriptional regulation of adjacent genes. Pericentric heterochromatin ...
Strands of DNA wrapped around a histone. Credit: Molekuul/Science Source Histones are among the most abundant proteins in the body. They act as spools that help compact DNA so our enormous genomes ...
Researchers showed that in C. elegans, the protein MBD-2 regulates genes through repressive histone marks rather than DNA ...
Diagram depicting all histone modifications, mutants, and variants present in the 115-member nucleosome library used in this study. Residues modified or mutated were mapped on to the nucleosome in ...
Researchers at the University of Cologne and University Hospital Cologne have determined that the novel mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines not only induce acquired immune responses such as antibody ...
