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 ...

Molecular biologists decode the epigenetic silencing of problematic retroviral gene sequences. LMU molecular biologist Gunnar Schotta decodes the epigenetic silencing of problematic retroviral gene ...

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 ...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNA transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides that do not code for proteins. Once considered mere transcriptional noise, lncRNAs are now known to play vital roles in ...

LMU molecular biologist Gunnar Schotta decodes the epigenetic silencing of problematic retroviral gene sequences. While each cell contains the complete genetic blueprint of an organism, chemical marks ...
