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, ...

Inside every human cell, six feet of DNA folds into a nucleus that is only a few micrometers wide, yet still manages to ...

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 ...

• Reprogramming of the transcriptome during photomorphogenesis requires dynamic changes in chromatin and distribution of histone modifications. However, the chromatin-based regulation of this process ...

The developmental period is a critical window during which environmental cues interact with the genome to shape lifelong trajectories of health and disease.

Genotoxic stress impairs plant development. To circumvent DNA damage, plants activate DNA repair pathways in concert with chromatin dynamics. These are essential during seed germination and seedling ...

Gray blight poses a major threat to global tea production, yet the epigenetic mechanisms regulating plant immunity have remained unclear. A new study uncovers that the arginine methyltransferase ...

Genes are regulated by complex interactions involving transcription factors, DNA regulatory regions, and epigenetic modifications which alter chromatin structure. Modifications to chromatin regulate ...
