Study Reveals How Epigenetic Changes Allow Pioneer TFs to Access DNA
…for the DNA. However, in areas where the DNA is densely packed, it can pose a challenge for proteins attempting to reach it. Interestingly, there are certain proteins that possess…
A New Study Shows MicroRNA-26a Targets DNA Demethylation Enzymes
…the microRNA miR-26a. These DNA demethylation enzymes are down-regulated in islets during postnatal differentiation, whereas miR-26a is up-regulated. They also report that changes in 5-hydroxymethylcytosine accompany changes in TET mRNA…
Histone Modifications – Regulators of Viral Infection
…cellular processes such as transcription, DNA replication, and DNA repair through diverse post-translational modifications that regulate their interactions with DNA and other nuclear proteins. Consequently, anomalous changes in histone epigenetics…
Non-Coding RNA
…major groups are shown to play a role in heterochromatin formation, histone modification, DNA methylation targeting, and gene silencing. In vivo function of NcRNA in living organisms. (Credit JBIC) Short…
Folate Deficiency in a Father’s Diet Could Cause Negative Pregnancy Outcomes by Changing Sperm Epigenome
…correspond to genes with differential methylation in sperm. Their results suggest that sperm histone H3 methylation or DNA methylation could be involved in epigenetic transmission and indicates that adequate dietary…
Histone Modifications and Epigenetic Regulation Could Hold the Key to Reversing Aging
Epigenetics has numerous connections to the process of aging, research hinting at the association between longevity and factors such as transcriptome length and DNA methylation patterns. Clearly, understanding the molecular…
Research in Epigenetics Experiencing Exponential Growth
…research is focused on DNA methylation and 25% is for non-coding RNA studies, while another 25% is related to histone modification and chromatin remodeling. Methylation assays (DNA/RNA/histone) will be the…
Unveiling the Epigenetic Impact of Formaldehyde: A Hazardous Environmental Pollutant
…of DNA. These alterations can show up as changes in DNA methylation patterns and histone modifications, impacting the regulation of gene expression and potentially contributing to adverse health effects. In…
4 Ways Epigenetics May Explain Why Love is Not So Crazy
…pheromones in the major urinary protein (MUP) family. This up-regulated expression is associated with changes in DNA methylation that result in a higher MUP concentration which attracts more females. Now,…
