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 ...

An epigenetic factor that is essential for producing mature egg cells in mice has been identified by RIKEN researchers for ...

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 ...

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 ...

A recent study unveils new insights into the complex regulatory mechanisms behind strawberry fruit ripening. By analyzing histone modifications, researchers have mapped a detailed chromatin structure ...

Epigenetics, the study of changes in gene expression that are not caused by alterations in the DNA sequence, has emerged as a key player in the development and severity of type 2 diabetes. Epigenetics ...

Epigenetics is the study of the impact of human lifestyle and environmental factors on gene expression patterns. Epigenetic changes are dynamic and reversible and inherited somatically. These changes ...

Researchers have revealed the mechanism of the drug valemetostat shown to be effective in treating certain types of cancer by targeting a protein modification (histone methylation) silencing the ...

Epigenetics, the study of changes in gene function that do not involve alterations to the DNA sequence, plays a pivotal role in understanding the complex interplay between genetics and the environment ...

New research in C. elegans from scientists at Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) helps explain how changes in the parents’ lysosomes that promote longevity are transferred to their offspring.
