An unexpected lab observation has led a team of scientists to discover how diet can influence survival in animal models of ...

Chromatin is a structure in the cell nucleus that helps pack DNA tightly by wrapping it around proteins called histones. These DNA-protein units, called nucleosomes, control how genes are turned on or ...

A study on dogs found that chromatin's spatial structure has a significant role in the evolution of social behavior. Chromatin, the compact form of DNA, not only packages genetic material but also ...

A novel, freely available AI tool has cut the time it takes to determine chromatin structure from days to minutes. The 3D structure of DNA is important for controlling cell-specific gene expression ...

This study is led by Dr. Yue Zhou (State Key Laboratory of Gene Function and Modulation Research, School of Advanced Agricultural Sciences, Peking-Tsinghua Center for Life Sciences, Peking University, ...

Genome-wide maps of chromatin structure in a cell-based model of breast cancer reveal chromatin reorganization accompanied by changes in transcription and epigenetic marks.

A recent study has shed light on the transcriptional regulatory mechanisms of Penicillium expansum, the fungal culprit behind blue mold disease in fruits. By mapping chromatin accessibility at ...

If I asked you, dear reader, to come up with a shortlist of the most monumental scientific achievements of the last century, chances are the Human Genome Project (HGP) would appear somewhere on that ...
