More recently, epigenetics has been defined as the study of mitotically and/or meiotically heritable changes in DNA. Cellular DNA is not “naked”, but is compacted into chromatin by histones.

This annual review issue is dedicated to “Epigenetics” an emerging but ... binding by protamines which are rapidly replaced by histones, a process that requires the histone chaperone (Hira ...

Modifying histones can affect transcription by altering the structure of chromatin and ... In essence, these mechanisms enable neurons totransiently activate or repress transcription of ensembles of ...

Numerous widely used chemicals induce genetic and epigenetic alterations implicated in various diseases, including cancer.

Most living creatures therefore have ingenious defence strategies in place with which to fight such invaders. The scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics focus on the ...

We specialize in high throughput top down liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. This allows us to study chromatin biology with proteoform level specificity and observe quantitative changes to ...

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 ...

Epigenetics, the study of how genes are turned on or off without changing the DNA itself, is central to this process. It involves chemical tags on DNA and proteins called histones, which help ...
