A Northwestern Medicine study has revealed a previously unknown connection between two fundamental cellular processes, ...

A novel, freely available AI tool has cut the time it takes to determine chromatin structure from days to minutes. The 3D structure of DNA is important for controlling cell-specific gene expression ...

A recent study has shed light on the transcriptional regulatory mechanisms of Penicillium expansum, the fungal culprit behind blue mold disease in fruits. By mapping chromatin accessibility at ...

DNA might be too small to see with the unaided eye, but it packs our cells in shocking quantities: More than six and a half feet of DNA lies within every cellular nucleus. It squeezes into such a ...

Research has uncovered a previously unknown, widespread role of ORC in regulating human cell gene expression. New work has revealed a much wider role for origin-recognition complex (ORC) in regulating ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital found that tumor cells use LINE-1 retrotransposons to restructure the genome to promote cancer gene expression.

The way the body ages could be more resilient than previously thought, a new study suggests. Published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, the work by researchers at King's College London ...

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 ...
