A Northwestern Medicine study has revealed a previously unknown connection between two fundamental cellular processes, ...

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 ...

During purification of the histone complexes the authors found evidence that the complexes possessed a pair of H3/H4 histone dimers, rather than the tetramer that had been hypothesized. Nakatani says ...

A research team has recently made a significant breakthrough in understanding how the DNA copying machine helps pass on epigenetic information to maintain gene traits at each cell division.

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 ...

DNA–protein cross-links (DPCs) represent a severe form of DNA damage that can disrupt essential chromatin-based processes. Among them, DNA–histone cross-links (DHCs) occur frequently within ...
