A new study on dogs found that chromatin's spatial structure has a significant role in the evolution of social behavior. Chromatin, the compact form of DNA, not only packages genetic material but also ...

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 ...

AMES, Iowa – In their long strings of nucleotides, DNA molecules hold massive troves of genetic data providing instructions for how living organisms should function – the blueprint of life. How the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

What if the brain's response to stress could be read not in fleeting neurotransmitter bursts, but in the quieting of genes deep inside chromatin? Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham ...
