Epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation play a key role in regulating gene expression. Emerging evidence suggests ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers showed that in C. elegans, the protein MBD-2 regulates genes through repressive histone marks rather than DNA ...
