…develop drug resistance and how certain epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation and histone modifications may be involved. Working with the clinicians at Northwell Health and Professor Gregory Hannon at…
…uncovered a connection between the common epigenetic mechanism DNA methylation and serotonin gene expression. Now, new research from Rockefeller University further expands our understanding of stress and how epigenetic molecular…
…to advance our understanding of how the body reacts in space. Research has shown that gravity, or rather the loss of Earth’s gravity, can cause changes in DNA methylation that…
…A key focus of this research lies in exploring epigenetic marks, the chemical modifications made on DNA or its packaging proteins (histones) that affect gene expression without changing the DNA…
…alter the DNA sequence itself; instead, they transiently modify a cell’s ability to interpret specific genes, influencing which proteins are produced. Primary mechanisms underlying epigenetic changes include DNA methylation, histone…
…DNA methylation as the key ways in which Rider activity is controlled. When a comparison across 110 plant genomes of various species—both tomato and other major crops—was performed to examine the scale…
…specialized proteins, or transcription factors, that regulate the DNA structure inside of the cell, which then activates some genes and represses others. The chemical modification of DNA and the modification…
…All the instructions required to direct their activities are contained within the chemical deoxyribonucleic acid, also known as DNA. DNA from humans is made up of approximately 3 billion nucleotide…
…of gene activation through methylation of DNA or modification of the histone proteins interacting with DNA. In addition, the RNA transcripts present in the oocytes and sperm may contribute to…
Every epigenetics scientist knows that chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is a valuable technique for studying protein-DNA interactions. They also know that antibodies used in ChIP to capture the DNA/protein complex must…
