In a recent study published in the journal Science Advances, a group of researchers investigated the role of histone modifications in human aging by developing and evaluating histone-specific age ...
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 ...
ASH1, Absent, small, or homeotic discs 1; CpG, 5′-Cyto- sine-phosphate-Guanine-3′ EZH, Enhancer of Zeste Homolog; GAS5, growth arrest-specific transcript 5; IFT80, Intraflagellar Transport 80; ...
Researchers have discovered that in thale cresses histone H3 lysine-9 (H3K9) methylation, conventionally thought to be a mark of turning off gene transcription, can also turn on gene expression via ...
DNA and RNA methylation, initially thought to operate as distinct pathways, have been shown to interact closely, shifting our understanding of gene regulation. A team of researchers from the ...
