Histone variants help establish DNA methylation at transposons (jumping genes) while preventing this epigenetic modification ...
An epigenetic factor that is essential for producing mature egg cells in mice has been identified by RIKEN researchers for the first time. This discovery could aid research into cases of infertility ...
The serine 31 (Ser31) phosphorylation modification (H3.3S31ph) in the N-terminal tail of the histone variant H3.3 can transform H3.3 nucleosomes from a stable state to a dynamically activated ...
