Researchers showed that in C. elegans, the protein MBD-2 regulates genes through repressive histone marks rather than DNA ...

Histone modification is an epigenetic mechanism that regulates gene expression by altering chromatin structure and DNA accessibility for transcription. Histone modification is regulated by various ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

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

Gene regulation is the process by which cells control the expression of their genes, determining when, where, and to what extent each gene is expressed. It is a fundamental mechanism that allows cells ...

A recent study led to the development of a powerful epigenetic editing technology. The system unlocks the ability to precisely program chromatin modifications at any specific position in the genome, ...

Working model of the BrHDA6-BrSOT12 module in downy mildew resistance of B. rapa.

A new study led by Nicolás Bologna, a CSIC researcher at the Center for Research in Agricultural Genomics (CRAG), sheds light on the crucial role of the N-terminal extension (NTE) of AGO proteins, ...
