A research team from AIST, the Institute of Science Tokyo, and Ritsumeikan University has demonstrated that the phase ...

Cells can switch off genes by tightly packaging DNA around proteins called histones. However, scientists at St. Jude Children ...

Human disease including cancer arises from disfunction of essential processes within a cell. One essential cellular process is the copying of the genomic DNA—the road map of cells—followed by ...

If all the DNA in a human cell was stretched out end to end, it would be roughly six feet long. That’s a lot of genetic information to pack into a cell that is, on average, one-fifth the size of a ...

If parent cells and their daughter cells are to share a stable identity, parent cells must divide—and replicate their DNA—while ensuring that their histones are distributed properly to their daughter ...

What is the histone code? Different chemical marks, such as acetylation, methylation, or phosphorylation, are made to numerous residues on the N-terminal tails of histone proteins. Some posit that ...
