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

A new study has decoded how pea plants respond to salt stress through precise epigenetic reprogramming. Researchers created the first genome-wide map of four major histone modifications—H3K4me3, ...

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 ...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) arises from genetic and epigenetic alterations, including histone modifications. Unlike genetic changes, epigenetic alterations are reversible, making them attractive ...

The accurate distribution of chromosomes in an oocyte is essential for the correct transmission of genetic information to the next generation. Now, researchers from Kyushu University have demonstrated ...

Histone modification is an epigenetic mechanism that enables fine-tuning of gene expression. Mutation or dysregulation of proteins associated with histone modification (called “writers,” “erasers,” ...

A collaborative effort has shed valuable light on how monoamine neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and now histamine help regulate brain physiology and behavior through chemical bonding of ...

Every cell in your body faces the same engineering puzzle: how to cram roughly two meters of DNA into a nucleus just a few ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...
