Newswise — The Human Genome Project changed everything. A map of the entire human sequence of DNA was the starting point for an enormous number of discoveries, from disease genes to how humans evolved ...

A UCLA-led study has provided an unprecedented look at how gene regulation evolves during human brain development, showing how the 3D structure of chromatin—DNA and proteins—plays a critical role.

T ing Zhao, an assistant professor of molecular, cell, and systems biology at UC Riverside, has received a K01 Career Development Award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) to investigate how ...

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 ...

With the revolutionary CRISPR/Cas technology, the DNA of living organisms can be precisely altered. Using a guide RNA that recognizes a specific DNA sequence, Cas9 protein is recruited to that ...

A single-individual study assembled the goonch catfish mitogenome, resolved B. bagarius as sister to B. yarrelli and identified unvalidated candidate modified-base signals.

Having that extra -CH3 jutting out of the DNA could get in the way of proteins that bind DNA and direct gene activity.Scientists are just starting to figure out what enzymes affect this DNA ...
